The 1,000 m² of premises were completely destroyed by the flames. With them, the 70 new or repaired motorcycles, stored there. The incident did not spread to other nearby buildings. On the other hand, a burnt car was found on the other side of the street. For the manager of the store, the attempted burglary is not in doubt "The car was used to smash the back door of the building, where we welcome deliveries, says Didier Fouillaud. I did install studs to precisely avoid this kind of breakage. In fifteen years, "Moto Axxe" has been the target of several flights or attempts.

Is the fire the consequence of the shock with the car-ram? Did the author (s) steal motorcycles before firing? A police investigation is in progress. The manager has not yet been able to enter the destroyed store to take stock and know if motorcycles have disappeared.

This Thursday morning, eight employees are unemployed.
