The Republican reconquest district Pissevin, in Nîmes, epicenter of violence against a backdrop of drug trafficking in this city where several shootings have been recorded in recent months, continues to be the scene of clashes between delinquents and police forces. the order. Le Figaro learned from a police source that a former inmate, who had escaped from prison, was painfully arrested by the police during the night from Thursday to Friday.

The police intervened on rue Daumier, shortly before 1 a.m. that night, alerted by witnesses. Armed people were “filtering” passers-by to protect a deal point. Seeing the police, two people fled when officers arrived, getting rid of a phone and a loaded pistol.

Among them was Mehdi M., already unfavorably known to the police since the man had been detained for acts of threatening with weapons even though he had already protected another deal point. He escaped from prison on December 21, 2022, and was wanted by the police: the RAID had tried to arrest him at his home on August 25, without success, because he was not at home.
