Fight against urban rodeos: the police go full throttle

REPORT - As part of a national hunt launched this weekend against crazy handlebars, operations have multiplied in the Paris region.


In an unmarked gray car parked along a wire-mesh warehouse in the port of Gennevilliers (Hauts-de-Seine), the police waves announce the establishment of a dozen patrols to lock down the sector and transform it into a "mousetrap ".

In addition to anti-crime brigades and territorial contact brigades ready to go into action, motorcycle crews in civilian clothes and in uniform, as well as specialized units from the public order and traffic management, receive the latest instructions of "discreet surveillance" and "dynamic security".

Goal?

Track down and challenge aficionados of the "wild rodeo", a practice of daredevils on the handlebars of motocross bikes and quads, sometimes stolen, on which parade the thugs of the cities, the madmen of speed and the unconscious acrobats.
