• Seven people were arrested on November 29, 2022, all suspected of having participated in the "rafalage" of an apartment in Thorigné-Fouillard, near Rennes, in June.

  • These shots had taken place in the midst of an outbreak of violence in the Maurepas district, in Rennes.

  • The police evoke settling of accounts against the background of drug trafficking to explain these shootings.

The apartment targeted by the bursts of fire was not “the right one”.

In June, the quiet town of Thorigné-Fouillard, located near Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine), was awakened in the middle of the night by gunfire.

Several people were visibly trying to attack the tenant of an apartment on avenue Gabriel-Fauré.

Except that the latter had moved!

Eighteen bullet holes had been found on the facade and the window of this accommodation which had recently housed a father and his children.

Fortunately, all were absent that night from June 10 to 11.

Five months after these events, seven arrests were made by the Rennes judicial police, reports the public prosecutor Philippe Astruc, confirming information from

Ouest-France

.

The agents intervened on the rogatory commission of an examining magistrate who is investigating four cases of settling scores opened this summer.

Gunshots were heard in Maurepas before a 28-year-old man was stabbed in a car driving through the Maurepas district.

A few days later, police were targeted by gunfire.

Eight people were arrested in September following the shooting.

Six are already known to justice

The prosecutor confirms that the seven people arrested are implicated in the "rafalage" of Thorigné's apartment.

Six of them are already known to justice.

"This operation illustrates the will of the judicial institution to identify and punish the perpetrators of these acts which cause a significant disturbance to public order so that no feeling of impunity can arise", adds prosecutor Philippe Astruc.

To those who were worried about the outbreak of violence which Rennes had been the scene of in June and July, the authorities have always replied that it was a question of “territory war” phenomena against a background of drug trafficking.
