They wanted to avoid the white sheet, here they are for some in court.
Seven young people were arrested this week for trying to prevent the holding of a surprise check and committing violence at the hotel school in Guyancourt (Yvelines).
Four high school students tried everything at the end of last week, going so far as to have the school's fire alarm set off by accomplices.
But the plan didn't go as planned and ultimately ended in the assault of three staff members.
It is 4:30 p.m. that day when the police from the Élancourt police station are called for acts of violence committed inside the establishment.
On site, the deputy headmaster tells them about the events that have just taken place.
Saboteurs outside the school
As he goes up to the 3rd floor to find out why the alarm went off, the manager sees three young people fleeing.
Accompanied by the educational adviser and a supervisor, he follows the trio into the toilets.
Unmasked, the three fugitives then turn against the three staff members, beating them before leaving the establishment.
All three will be taken to hospital.
The investigation, carried out by the group Violences aux personnes de la sécurité urbaine d'Élancourt, quickly led to the conclusion that the three people in question were not educated at the hotel school.
But also that they met, shortly before the facts, four students who facilitated their intrusion.
Blows to escape
Arrested on Wednesday, the four high school students explained in police custody the reasons for this machination having turned into a fight: the simple desire to escape control.
One of them told the police that he had asked for help from acquaintances to disrupt school life.
“He was bragging to his class that thanks to him, the control would not take place,” explains a source.

Identified in the process, the three fugitives were apprehended on Thursday and also acknowledged the facts, explaining the aggression of the school staff by the sole desire to escape.
They were referred for intrusion into the school environment and aggravated violence.
Two of the four high school students are presented in court for complicity in intrusion into the school environment and complicity in aggravated violence, one having been the instigator of the plan, the other having filmed the facts without however broadcasting them.
The other two high school students implicated were the subject of a legal warning.
