New Year: nearly 180 cars burned in Île-de-France, including 22 in the Yvelines alone

2023-01-01T13:22:03.183Z


The western Ile-de-France department would be the one where car fires were more numerous than anywhere else in the Paris region


With twenty-two cars burned and fourteen by propagation, the Yvelines experienced strong activity for this New Year's Eve, more than in any other department of Île-de-France.

In Mantes-la-Jolie alone, six fires were recorded, especially at the end of the night.

Thirteen dustbins were lit and eight police attacks were to be deplored: three throwing projectiles and five mortar attacks with six uses of collective weapons in response.

It should be noted that the Trappes police station also came under mortar fire.

In total, eighteen people have been arrested for common law offenses during the past twenty-four hours.

For the departmental secretary of the SGP Unit union of Yvelines, François Bersani, this New Year's Eve was very similar to the previous ones, with around forty facts in total.

“Our organization welcomes this stabilization and the absence of seriously injured police officers during this evening.

These results are the result of an extremely strong mobilization of police officers in Yvelin and the leave restrictions imposed on these personnel.

Fires but no serious facts

In total, in the eight departments of the Paris region, around 180 vehicles were set on fire but no serious incident was noted by the police.

Last year, the region deplored 186 incidents of this nature.

In Val-d'Oise, eleven cars were burned and sixteen were affected by propagation.

Three arrests were made for attempted arson.

Officials also suffered a few mortar attacks in Argenteuil and Cergy.

In Essonne, sixteen cars were set on fire and the night was calm.

Seven cars were burned in Seine-et-Marne, to which are added three others by propagation.

Same observation in the small crown.

In Hauts-de-Seine, fifteen cars went up in smoke without major incident.

Twenty-three cars burned in Val-de-Marne and the police carried out twenty-seven arrests.

And in Seine-Saint-Denis, “no particularly significant case this night”, underlines a police officer.

But all the same: fifty-seven arrests, fifteen fires from vehicles, two hundred and thirty-three mortar rounds, five projectiles thrown and sixty-three shots of police defense ammunition.

In Paris, no car was the target of arsonists, but the police came under five mortar fire.
