These are cars that are worthless but do the job. We do everything to maintain them. It sucks. If I held the idiot who did this, he would have a hard time .

“I arrived in Machecoul two months ago. And there you go…”

I arrived in Machecoul two months ago. And here it is… laments this new resident in front of the wreckage of her Mini. We heard explosions, it made the windows of the house vibrate explains this couple of local residents. This other 91-year-old neighbor, whose house adjoins the parking lot where the five vehicles burned, says she is petrified with fear .

As for the owners of the vehicles, they remain in complete disarray. Like this couple. He lost his two cars: We work in Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef and Pornic and we leave in the morning at 4 a.m. How are we going to do it? The young girl, supported by her parents, works at Planète Sauvage, in Port-Saint-Père. Fortunately, his parents lent him a vehicle. But the anger is there. I heard noise and explosions but I didn't dare go out .

“Who benefits from this? »

The gendarmes have little doubt about the possibility of a voluntary act. Who identified two separate outbreaks, 200 m apart. At both locations, a car was set on fire and the fire spread to vehicles parked nearby indicates an investigator behind the scenes.

No video surveillance camera image can help the police. Several auditory witnesses indicate having heard the noise of scooters at the time of the events.

The mayor, Laurent Robin (various left), who visited the site this Saturday morning, wonders: Who benefits? . Regardless of the author(s), these fires occur in a deleterious local political context… Even if the investigators exclude any link with the tensions that arose following the spread of a rumor suggesting the imminent settlement of many Roma families in the territory.
