Violence Escalates in Rennes: Shootings, Bomb Threats, and Mayor’s Response

In Rennes, the left-wing municipality seems to live in a parallel reality. During this month of December alone, the capital of Ille-et-Vilaine was the scene of several shootings in the “priority” district of Blosne while multiple bomb threats punctuated the life of educational establishments in recent years. recent weeks. Let us add to this table the threats made by a 12-year-old schoolgirl armed with a knife (and presented as a “Mongolian refugee”) towards a teacher at the Hautes Ourmes college.

Without forgetting the three reports between December 13 and 18 in the same district of Blosne, each time concerning individuals armed with knives or a firearm. Alerts requiring, for example, the confinement of 1,300 students at the Descartes high school on Thursday December 14 or even the confinement of three Rennes schools on December 18 after witnesses indicated having seen a man walking around with a Kalashnikov in hand.

For the mayor of Rennes, the problem is the immigration law

However, there is no question of fixating on the Blosne district: in November, it was in Cleunay, another “priority” district and bastion of Rennes drug trafficking, that shots rang out, just a few days after a teenager was shot and injured.

Meanwhile, Nathalie Appéré, mayor of Rennes, had other concerns, such as being outraged on December 19th at the adoption of the immigration bill by Parliament:

We can note in passing that, if the councilor refers to the “7,000 foreign students” in his city, she does not mention the “unaccompanied minors” migrants who regularly make themselves noticed in the streets of Rennes… Is there a certain “selected immigration” in municipal communication?

Police operation in the neighborhoods of Rennes

It is therefore in this context of accumulation of shootings and other settling of scores between gangs of scum against a backdrop of drug trafficking that a major police operation was carried out on Thursday, December 21 in several districts of Rennes with the common point of being hot spots for drug dealing.

In Blosne obviously, near the Places d’Italie and Place du Banat, but also in the Villejean district (also home to a high proportion of the population of non-European origin) and its sulphurous Kennedy slab.

In total, nearly 90 police officers and CRS were deployed for this operation. Speaking to the media Actu Rennes, the Rennes police explained that “the essential objective of this operation is the police presence in these sectors with the aim of reconquering the territories and dismantling the deal points”. A very ambitious but necessary project!

During this operation on December 21, the police made 12 arrests for several reasons: possession of drugs, carrying prohibited weapons (knives) and money laundering. In addition, the police seized a little more than €2,000 in cash as well as various narcotics packaged for sale. Discoveries which, however, seem unlikely (for the moment?) to shake up the empires of local drug traffickers.
