“We are still braving the prohibitions,” laments the captain of the Thionville gendarmerie company. But in this case, if we meet someone, we will not be forgiving. Our current priority is compliance with the confinement rules. “
So even if the number of road accidents has reduced considerably in the riding of Thionville, “it is unprecedented”, according to the police, both gendarmes and police remain on the ground. “We are mobilized seven days a week for burglaries in gymnasiums, for example, but also during neighborhood conflicts or even family disputes.
