F. Scheiber / 20 Minutes

The tranquility of the small village of Capvern, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, has been turned upside down in recent days.

Friday, September 18, in the middle of the afternoon, six men disembarked in a car to do battle with a couple living in the town with whom they had a dispute.

Hooded, the members of this commando were mostly armed with knives and sticks.

But they were put to flight by one of those they wanted to assault, who was returning home.

The latter quickly reported the facts to the gendarmerie and gave the registration number of the small car in which the six men were crammed.

The soldiers were quick to set up an important device to intercept them, but when they saw the reported vehicle arriving, the driver was alone on board, having taken care to drop off his accomplices.

Four incarcerations

Inside the car, objects made it possible to quickly confuse its owner and he was taken into custody by the gendarmes of the Lannemezan brigade community, before he was referred and imprisoned.

Tuesday, after identifying his five alleged accomplices, a vast arrest operation was launched.

More than 40 gendarmes from the Hautes-Pyrénées gendarmerie surveillance and intervention platoons were on the bridge in Lannemezan, where all the suspects were arrested.

Two of them are placed under judicial supervision, while the other three individuals, who will be brought to justice on Thursday, are imprisoned.
