Bruno Retailleau announced on Wednesday the arrival of the Minister for Security, Nicolas Daragon, in Cavaillon (Vaucluse) as well as the dispatch in the evening of CRS 81 after the fire of four police vehicles in front of the town police station.
Traveling to Luxembourg for a meeting of European Ministers of Justice and the Interior, Mr. Retailleau estimated in a press release that “the attack on the Cavaillon police station (was) a new illustration of the drift to which our country is confronted”.
“A few days ago, a vast anti-drug operation made it possible to dismantle a network of traffickers and it is this operation which seems to be at the origin of the events of last night,” added the Minister of the Interior.
“The State will not allow itself to be intimidated and we will intensify our fight against narco-banditry. I will place the fight against organized crime at the center of my concerns because it constitutes an attack on our institutions”, also wrote the minister.
The CRS 81, which will be on site in the evening, is a variation in the south of the CRS 8 unit, created by Gérald Darmanin, to fight against urban violence in particular.
The investigation was entrusted to the organized and specialized crime division of Avignon on the charge of “destruction, deterioration or degradation of property by means dangerous to people, committed due to the quality of the person holding the authority public.
