In the forest of Double in the Dordogne, we are not too happy about the arrest of an arsonist on Saturday

At La Roche-Chalais, everyone is pouting when we talk about the arrest on Saturday of an arsonist caught in the act in a cornfield. The former firefighter tried on Tuesday only recognized the fire on Saturday evening, but the investigation is continuing to try to find out if he is the cause of other fires in the Dordogne or elsewhere.

“There was another fire on Sunday”

But the inhabitants and foresters of the Double do not believe it, according to them the “main” arsonist is still at large : “we had never had a fire in a field, so I don’t see why it would be him” Judge Dimitri, forest owner who has been spared by the fire for the moment. Sandra often drives by the Double, she makes the same observation “and then there was another fire on Sunday“during the police custody of the 45-year-old Périgourdin”I think there are some who have taken the example, there may not be just one” asks this resident of Parcoul.

Nathalie, another forester from the Double “he was drunk, had a bottle of wine and a lighter and he lit some corn“breathes the one who is also a farmer,”did he really intend to burn it all down?” she wonders. She hopes for another arrest before the start of the heavy rains “if not next year, again“.
