The Bayonne prosecutor’s office closed on Friday, October 21 the investigation opened after the intrusion alert at the Aturri college in Saint-Pierre d’Irube (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), reports France Bleu Pays Basque. Thursday, between 400 and 600 students of the establishment were indeed confined for five hours in their classes, after students saw two people praying in front of the college.
These two people did not enter the establishment illegally, according to the prosecution, “contrary to the initial testimonies which motivated the operation to secure the premises”. “No criminal offense is constituted”, therefore concludes the public prosecutor of Bayonne. They were in fact workers who “practiced their morning prayers after having parked their vehicle in the parking lot”. They then had to “to travel to their work site by carpooling”.
At the time of the alert, 70 members of the Bayonne research brigade and gendarmerie company searched the establishment room by room. “The removal of doubt carried out by the soldiers of the gendarmerie and the demining teams inside the college and in the suspected vehicles made it possible to rule out any criminal hypothesis or malicious design”, specifies the Bayonne prosecutor’s office.
