Work of unemployed young people lacking strong sensations during confinement, revenge after an arrest or act with symbolic and political significance? According to our information, the gendarmerie brigade of Nivillac (Morbihan) was the target of a fire of a criminal nature, on the night of Sunday to Monday.
Shortly after three in the morning, the gendarmes noticed that two of their screen-printed vehicles were on fire in the gendarmerie parking lot. The firefighters, quickly warned, were able to extinguish the flames before the fire spread to other vehicles or the building.
"The criminal track is the preferred hypothesis, confirms François Touron, the public prosecutor of Vannes. According to the first elements of the investigation, the vehicles were set on fire using fuel. "
"No acronym, tag or message"
Entrusted to the Vannes research brigade, the investigation promises to be difficult, as is often the case with fire. Especially since the arsonists did not sign their gesture. "There are no claims," said the Vannes prosecutor. No acronym, tag or message to appropriate this act. "
Despite the proliferation of damage attributed to the ultra-left in recent weeks, and the symbolism of the target - several barracks of gendarmeries had already been targeted by fires claimed by the movement in Isère - "you have to be very, very careful, ensures a source close to the investigation. At this stage, the trail of a local bitterness is also to be taken into account. "
