Overview
- Intelligence agents flagged a suspicious, stolen vehicle parked on Rue Henri Dunant and bomb-disposal teams found no explosives but recovered a Kalashnikov-type assault rifle, multiple magazines, a Beretta pistol and ammunition.
- The vehicle was located Saturday evening and authorities set a security perimeter that prompted the calm evacuation of about 300 people from a nearby cinema and restaurants.
- The Parquet national antiterroriste has seized the case and opened an inquiry for alleged terrorist conspiracy and illegal transport or possession of category A and B weapons.
- Investigations have been entrusted to a multi-agency team led by the DGSI with the sous-direction antiterroriste, the national judicial police and the Val-d'Oise interdépartemental police conducting forensic and intelligence work.
- No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested, the car’s plates were partially removed, and local Jewish leaders and residents say the incident has raised alarm and reinforced security vigilance in the area.
