The police intervened in the night from Saturday to Sunday in Rouen where a clandestine party gathered a hundred people in an abandoned shed despite the health restrictions, we learned from the prefecture.

The party was organized despite government restrictions linked to the Covid-19 epidemic "via social networks" on the Saint-Gervais esplanade towards the Rouen docks, "with people who came from everywhere, in particular from Nantes ”, indicated the prefecture of Seine-Maritime.

On their arrival, the police set up "a security perimeter which made it possible to deter the latest arrivals" but they had to make "offensive leaps", a group attempting to force the perimeter in place.

According to the prefecture, "the intervention of the police made it possible to avoid the holding of this clandestine party".

"We avoided holding this rave party in the hangar", knowing that the police strategy "was to avoid accidents in front of relatively alcoholic people".

About sixty people fined

It was about securing people "to avoid drowning in the Seine".

"Some people were on the roof of this hangar", according to state services.

“The party started between 7:00 pm and 8:00 pm and ended this (Sunday) morning around 8:30 am”.

Sunday morning, "there were still a few people who were quickly dispersed".

"About sixty people were fined" and "there was a seizure of equipment, including sound", according to the prefecture, which specifies that the hangar did not have electricity.

A person who "threw projectiles at the police" was arrested.

According to a police source, a member of the security forces was injured in the hand.
