What is the reason for this intervention?

As Ouest-France reveals and as a police source confirms to us, the police and the RAID intervened in a Traveler camp shortly after 11:30 a.m.

“For this type of sensitive intervention, we can send the RAID,” the police source tells us.

For what reason? During the night from Monday to Tuesday, violence took place in the bar “Le Monroe” in Lorient. Several people were injured. The police are dispatched to the scene. During the chase, shots are fired towards the police.

Significant resources mobilized

A special operation is currently being carried out by the National Police and the RAID on Boulevard François Mitterrand, concerning a site illegally occupied by Travelers.
