Pamiers (Ariège) : the new car of the police station is no longer

Update on the investigation following the arson of a police vehicle in front of Pamiers police station

La Dépêche, May 2, 2022 (excerpt)

“In front of the police station! This is not a joke! It’s the first time I’ve seen this since I’ve been in Ariège”. The fire that struck a police vehicle parked right in front of Pamiers police station this weekend has left its mark on the world of law enforcement.

Especially since according to the first indications of the investigation, it is “a priori” a voluntary act indicates the prosecutor to the judicial court of Foix, this Monday morning. It is thus the criminal track which is privileged to explain how – and why – this 5008 Peugeot caught fire.

On Friday night, it was about 2 a.m. when the night staff saw flames at the level of the pavement, just in front of the police station. The departmental fire and rescue service of the Ariège (SDIS 09) was alerted, which immediately dispatched its firefighters to the area around Delcassé Boulevard, in Pamiers town centre.

An investigation for “destruction of other people’s property by a means that endanger others” was opened. For the moment, it is entrusted to the investigators of Pamiers. But it is not excluded that it will be delocalized in the future, as is the custom when the case concerns the forces of order directly.

According to our information, the vehicle that burned was a 5008 Peugeot, which the Appamachian police had recently been equipped with. The fire started at the level of the engine and in the sights of a video surveillance camera. Neither the departmental direction of the public security (DDSP), in Foix, nor the police station of Pamiers would comment.

Following the examination of the first images, it appears that the disaster is “a priori” of criminal origin. To date, no arrests have been made, but “the investigations underway to identify the suspect/s are multiple and rapid” ), emphasizes the duty prosecutor. Was this a gratuitous act of vandalism? An act of retaliation following an ongoing procedure? Or an extremist political message? “The results of the investigations will be known soon”, the magistrate continued.
