This Saturday afternoon, the gendarmerie of Rezé organized in Bouguenais a “large-scale operation to combat road violence”. In total, about fifteen gendarmes were mobilized on the spot to carry out various checks. Around 4:30 p.m., two young people on their scooters refuse to stop for a check and flee. A little further on, a pair of gendarmes managed to stop them.
The scooters are uninsured and law enforcement begins issuing a ticket, but the situation “gets worse”. Joined by two other gendarmes, this does not seem to calm the situation. One of the two young people checked “deliberately crushes” on the ground the pair of sunglasses belonging to one of the soldiers. It is then that “racist insults” are pronounced against one of the four gendarmes. The two young people are 18 years old, they were taken into custody. The gendarmes have all lodged a complaint against them.
