This weekend, there is no question of departing from the confinement rules despite the good weather. Only essential travel is allowed. The police are on the ground to monitor and report the offenses. Several revelers were arrested last night in Mons. This is RTL INFO information.
One of the daily missions of the police linked to containment is to control the movement of citizens. “We ask where they come from, where they are going, explains Eric Vanwijller, chief inspector of the Mons-Quévy police zone. We check whether they are accompanied or not and whether the journey is valid. If we see that people are in bad faith, we verbalize. “
That night, in downtown Mons, six people were arrested. They were partying in groups, regardless of the confinement rules. “I don’t understand how people can still ignore that there are containment measures, says Philippe Borza, director of operations for the Mons-Quévy police zone. We find that people still gather and meet in different placess to party or meet up with friends. So I reiterate with determination that this kind of behavior is always prohibited. “
