Around forty residents spoke with the three officials, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. To the point that the planned stroll in the neighborhood was postponed. Pauline Dubus, the sub-prefect, assured, at the end of the meeting, of her intention to return to the neighborhood soon.
As a preamble, the mayor of Lannion, Paul Le Bihan, displayed the mobilization and solidarity of the city’s services: “We will welcome and help the victims to prepare cases. » The mayor insists on the city’s policy in favor of working-class neighborhoods: “Ker-Uhel is not neglected. There has been work to calm down the neighborhood which had a very degraded image. For Les Fontaines, the rehabilitation is underway, it takes time but it will come. »

Already 13 cars burned
For the sub-prefect, Pauline Dubus, it is a question of “reestablishing a climate of serenity after this attack on the living environment. » After specifying that the police and firefighters intervened between four and five minutes after the incidents were reported, she gave figures for delinquency in Lannion in 2024: “There was a drop in calls, 1,012 against 1,283 in 2023, for 6.26% more suspects. » While recognizing that in 2025, there have already been twelve cars burned (plus one on January 6), compared to 7 last year.
Commander Olive welcomes a drop in crimes of 2.9% in 2024, noting stability in the number of crimes in Lannion: “Over four years, the number of criminal acts is between 1,100 and 1,200. Delinquency is stable, it’s rare, but we don’t forget the victims behind these facts. As for offenders, with a clearance rate close to 50%, they know that they have a one in two chance of being arrested. »
It’s true that when the police move around on foot, it’s easier to talk to them, we’re going to develop this area.
Reinforcements at night
Once it was clarified that nothing would be said about the ongoing investigation, the questions flooded in. Residents insisted on the rodeos of two-wheelers, and sometimes quads: “They drive against the flow more often on cycle paths, pedestrian zones and green spaces than on the road. » “They have new motorbikes, they’re not necessarily the ones you think of when you talk about the neighborhood! » Commander Olive is aware of this: “It’s a national phenomenon and it sometimes turns into drama. We set up operations every week. If the perpetrators are tried and found guilty, their two-wheelers may be seized and destroyed. There too, we hope to carry out operations. »
The police commander shows his support for a request for foot patrols: “We are not designed to be everywhere all the time. It’s true that when the police move around on foot, it’s easier to talk to them, we’re going to develop this area. »
After the formal exchanges, discussions continued. During a conversation, and in response to a question about the car set on fire on rue de Pen ar Stang, the head of the police station clarified that police reinforcements will be deployed over the next few nights in all districts of the city.
