Rising Violence and Changes in Neighborhoods: A Closer Look at Drug Trafficking in Nîmes

In the afternoon of Monday August 28, 2023 again, national police officers crisscross the neighborhood where two people were killed last week. They carry out identity checks, inspect stairwells. Deal points are deserted, just like another, a little further. The inhabitants observe a change, there are fewer people. The violence moved, on weekends, to less guarded neighborhoods. A shooting broke out on the evening of Saturday August 26 in front of the door of a building, as evidenced by bullet holes and a case still on the ground. In the street next door, a young man of 26 parks. He is targeted. He confides to us this Monday, August 28, morning, that he can’t sleep anymore, he is traumatized. The same evening, a fifteen-year-old boy believed to be linked to drug trafficking was attacked with a knife in the center of Nîmes. Some dealers would be stopped. But they could not have invested in new districts. To fight against drug trafficking, around sixty CRS were deployed in the Gard until the end of the year. TF1 | Report A. Erhel, JV Molinier
