This Monday afternoon, a man entered the MediaMarkt store in Jemappes, near Mons. Visibly mentally ill, he destroyed nearly forty televisions, as reported by our colleagues at Sudinfo.
Around 2:40 p.m., the MediaMarkt store in Jemappes, near Mons in Hainaut, was somewhat noisy. Indeed, as reported by the media Sudinfo, a man entered the store and ransacked it. In fact, he destroyed nearly 40 televisions using a Racagnac key. “Visibly mentally disturbed, he spoke to various colleagues in the store before heading towards the television section. He began to destroy around forty screens using a fairly heavy blunt object.“, explains Philippe De Vos, director of the MediaMarkt in Jemappes, to our colleagues.
Tens of thousands of euros in losses
Given the man’s violence, store staff restrained the man while waiting for the police. Once the police arrived on site, they arrested him. “It turns out that he is indeed mentally disturbed and should now be in the Mons psychiatric hospital.“, continues Philippe De Vos.
In total, the store suffered tens of thousands of euros in losses during the sales period.
