“I can't continue my studies like this, this is the second time they have robbed me.”
When Moustapha returned from vacation on February 26, he discovered his apartment wide open, the lock completely removed.
This law student at the Sorbonne has been living since September in a room at the Crous Amiral Mouchez residence (Paris XIII).
According to its residents, life in the building is already punctuated by problems with rats, heating... And for more than a year, repeated intrusions.
So when several apartments were burglarized this week, it was “the last straw” for these scholarship students who denounce the inaction of the Crous de Paris services.
“The front doors of the residence are broken, we can get in very easily,” explains Rayan, victim of a burglary a year ago.
Like others, he suspects the “young people who come to hang out” in the basement of the residence of being the perpetrators of the thefts.
Faced with this insecurity, some students leave their accommodation, leaving a trash can in front of their door or music loud enough to feign their presence and deter burglars.

Several emails were sent to the Crous services to alert them to this situation, without response.
Following the latest burglaries, they hired a security guard and replaced the locks of two apartments visited.
