Vitrolles: arson attacks on high voltage lines
BFM Provence/RMC/VA, December 20-21, 2022

Two high-voltage electrical installations were the target of arson attacks on Sunday night in Vitrolles (Bouches-du-Rhône). One of the two fires led to a power failure at part of the Marseille-Marignane airport. For the moment, these actions have not been claimed.

According to information from RMC, around 4pm on Sunday night, two high voltage electrical installations were the target of arson attacks. These actions were performed on two pylons a few tens of meters apart and led to power cuts. 9,000 households were thus deprived of power for about twenty minutes in the communes of Vitrolles, Rognac and Septèmes-les-Vallons following the damage to one of the installations.

Worse still, the other fire led to a power failure at part of the airport Marseille-Marignane, where the emergency equipment took over, said RTE. The company managing the electricity transmission network has filed a complaint and an investigation has been opened and entrusted to the judicial police.

[According to an official who confided in the journalists of the weekly Valeurs actuelles, which reports it on its twitter account: “Two pylons of high-voltage lines Enedis were burned at the corner of the blvd Marcel Pagnol and the departmental road D9 in Vitrolles (13), this Monday, indicates a police source to Valeurs actuelles. The first one serves the Marseille-Provence airport and the Airbus Helicopters company.”]
