Overview
- Police in Fresnes say a patrol car was hit with thrown objects late Friday, shattering the driver’s window, and four teens were detained soon after, two of whom were already charged in the town hall sacking.
- The two minors were under court supervision with a 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew that they allegedly breached, according to police union officials and local reporting.
- Ten youths aged 14 to 16 were placed under formal investigation on Thursday for vandalizing the town hall, theft, and group damage while concealing their faces, with seven under judicial supervision and three given provisional educational measures.
- Investigators say video footage, ID checks, and fingerprints led to 13 arrests earlier in the week, and they dropped the harsher “organized gang” qualification for lack of evidence.
- The March 27 attack, which hit the eve of new mayor Christophe Carlier’s installation, used a firework mortar to break the entrance before the lobby was wrecked, with nearby shops also damaged and losses estimated at about €50,000.
