Two cars of the municipal police of Mantes-la-Jolie, parked in front of the brigade, were set on fire during the night of 23 to 24 November 2021. This was clearly an intentional act.

At precisely 1.06am, the fire brigade was called to two vehicles on fire at 17, boulevard des Cygnes in Mantes-la-Jolie. The firefighters extinguished the fire without difficulty, thus avoiding any spreading. The Renault Clio and the Peugeot 207 were destroyed by the flames. The Mantes municipal police, which normally operates 24 hours a day, was understaffed last night. There were no patrols. Only two officers were working at the video surveillance centre inside the premises.

Mortar fire targeted the police station and police officers in Argenteuil (Val d’Oise) on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 November.

They targeted a place that is symbolic of authority. Between 20 and 30 young people dressed in black tried to set fire to the police station of the district of Argenteuil while it was unoccupied, Monday evening. Aged about 13 or 14, they placed a trash can in front of the building and set it on fire. They also threw projectiles at the building and damaged windows on the second floor. The latter are not police premises but those of the social branch of the departmental council, which includes a maternal and child protection centre.

In an office building in the Belgicastraat in Zaventem [Flemish Brabant], the third floor was heavily damaged by a fire on Tuesday evening. A guard noticed the fire and alerted the emergency services. There were no casualties. According to the public prosecutor’s office, the fire was started at the technology company Devoteam.

On Wednesday morning the public prosecutor’s office in Halle-Vilvoorde sent a fire expert to the Keiberg industrial estate to find out the exact circumstances. After a visit to the site, the appointed fire expert came to the conclusion that there was evidence of malicious intent, i.e. that the fire had been deliberately set.  As a result of the fire, the third floor of the office building was sealed off.

According to a television report by the local channel TL7 on 6 November entitled “We’ll have to wait a little longer before we have a network”, concerning the repairs in progress, it was a Bouygues antenna as well as those of Free and SFR that were affected by this incendiary sabotage. As for the site manager, he could only deplore the large quantity of cables that had to be transported to the site and then replaced (all the way to the top with a special pod for Bouygues) as well as the lack of available stock of connectors on the eve of the weekend. All of this is likely to prolong the disconnection of the network for longer than the operators had hoped.
