For several weeks, a barrage of trolleys, stolen from a local supermarket, has been in the Mas de Mingue district, in Nîmes (Gard), "in response to several operations to combat drug trafficking", deplores the prefecture .
On January 29, four days after the installation of a first roadblock, no doubt intended to protect drug trafficking, the services of the supermarket and the municipal police recovered the carts.
On February 1, a new dam was installed.
Two days later, the municipality removed them.
At the same time, around twenty police officers carried out a “major operation” in the district, indicates the prefecture, which resulted in the seizure of narcotics and the arrest of an individual for obstructing traffic.
A teenager tried in three months
This teenager, brought before a magistrate on Friday, will be tried in three months, said Eric Maurel, the prosecutor of Nîmes.
In addition, three people, suspected of being lookouts, were fined for noise.
The prefecture indicates that a meeting will take place in the coming days, with the national police, the supermarket, the city and the municipal police, "in order to determine the measures to be taken to fight in the long term against these phenomena of obstruction to traffic" .
In the meantime, the police "remain vigilant, day and night, to detect new blocking attempts", conclude the services of the Gard prefecture.
