Friday May 5, 2023 at 9:05 p.m., Marie-Ange Casalta will invite you to see or re-watch on W9 the issue of the magazine “Enquête d’action”: “Mad, drivers, thieves: violent face-to-face in Loire-Atlantique ! “.
Renowned for its quality of life and its attractiveness, Nantes is experiencing an unprecedented demographic increase. The metropolis welcomed 53,000 more inhabitants between 2014 and 2020. A rise in population accompanied by an explosion in crime.
To respond to the threat, the Rezé gendarmerie company, south of Nantes, has a Surveillance and Intervention Platoon (PSIG): an elite unit mobilized for heavy-duty interventions. At its head, Major Marco, seasoned constable. With his teams, he trains tirelessly for operations linked to armed madmen.
Each year, these overtrained gendarmes put out of harm’s way a dozen people ready for anything, but above all capable of the worst. The PSIG of Rezé is one of the most active in France, with more than a hundred arrests per year.
Since 2020, pharmacies have become prime targets for burglars in the region, looking for drugs and cash. This phenomenon mobilizes the local gendarmerie companies in chases.
Drugs, alcohol, speed: 9 times out of 10, accidents are due to poor driver behavior. On departmental roads, the commander Gilleshead of the departmental squadron of road safety, will increase the controls to stop the speeders.
Finally, Nicolas, assigned to the Guérande brigade, a pretty little tourist town near the ocean, sees his activity explode when the good weather arrives at the same time as the boaters. Like this evening, where he intervenes in a campsite. An aggressive young man threatens the safety of vacationers.
