On December 25, a joint operation by the police led to the arrest of six minors suspected of being at the origin of more than twenty fires and outbreaks of fire in the Berthe city in La Seyne- sur-Mer. This coordinated action mobilized the Specialized Field Brigade (BST), the emergency police and the Anti-Crime Brigades (BAC) of La Seyne and Toulon.
A quick and efficient response
The fires, which had caused panic in this neighborhood, had been reported in several places in recent days. The damage caused by these fires quickly attracted the attention of local authorities. Thanks to a rapid investigation and increased surveillance, the police were able to identify and arrest the young suspects.
A legal proceeding in progress
The six arrested minors were brought before justice the next day, December 26. According to the first elements of the investigation, these fires are linked to acts of vandalism. Police continue to examine the motives of the suspects and determine if they are involved in other similar incidents in the area.
A welcomed operation
The rapid intervention of the police teams was widely welcomed by residents and local elected officials. “This action shows the commitment of the police to guarantee the safety of citizens,” declared a representative of the town hall.
The authorities call for vigilance and reiterate the importance of reporting any suspicious behavior. The collaboration between the services of La Seyne and Toulon once again demonstrates the effectiveness of joint operations in the face of security challenges in sensitive neighborhoods.
