NARCOTRAFICS – Six young people were arrested in Nîmes following the fire at the police station in August, against a backdrop of drug trafficking
Six people aged 15 to 28, including three minors, were arrested and taken into police custody this Tuesday in Nîmes. The police suspect them of being at the origin of the fire started on the night of August 20 to 21, in a business adjoining the new police station in the Pissevin district. The premises were to be inaugurated six days later. Two and a half months later, it still has not been able to open, its structure having been damaged.
The investigation quickly made it possible to determine “that the disaster was caused by a massive spillage of fuel via the chimney of a butcher's shop then under construction”, specifies the public prosecutor, Cécile Gensac.
Arrested in several municipalities in Gard
The six people were arrested this Tuesday morning, in the neighborhood as well as in other municipalities in Gard. “Their profile indicates that they are all known for acts related to drugs,” underlines the prosecutor. However, she specifies “that in the current state of the investigation, nothing establishes with certainty a link between the destruction by fire and drug trafficking”.
