The employees of a butcher's shop located in Lyon 8th district recently lodged a complaint against "children of 12 years".

According to this Tuesday's edition of 

Progress

, they would have repeatedly targeted trade on Saturday, September 19.

One of the butchers claims to have first been the victim of insults "because they accused us of selling pork".

Then this same band of six young Lyonnais would have appeared in the afternoon with a tear gas canister which they would have emptied in the presence of customers in the store.

The police then moved to chase the children, who reportedly returned with three additional comrades.

And this before throwing a stone at the window, without causing damage, depending on the version of the butchery.

So that the trade complained to the police station.

That same evening, one of the children involved was arrested and taken to the police station.
