Le Progrès, 18 October 2021
At around 8.30pm on Sunday 17 October, a small group of individuals destroyed a video surveillance camera at the corner of the rue de la Forge and rue Saint-Exupéry.
A video, which has since been circulating on WhatsApp in particular, (…) shows a group of people, wearing hoods, attacking the pole, using a disc cutter. In less than two minutes, the pole falls to the ground. The camera is then destroyed. The police did not have time to arrest the individuals.
According to our sources, another video surveillance camera was destroyed the same evening, on Castellion Street, as well as another mast, where a camera was soon to be installed, on Saint-Exupéry Street. The mayor will file a complaint and strongly condemns these events.
