In total, specifies the prosecutor, twenty people were referred, during the weekend, to the parquet floor and to the judicial court of Chartres, following this urban violence, “in addition to those referred within the framework of the usual activity of the permanence of the public prosecutor’s office, requiring an unprecedented mobilization of clerks and magistrates of the seat and the public prosecutor’s office”.
A dispersed group in Mainvilliers
A Mainvilliersseveral people, faces hidden, gathered near a shopping center, who seemed to be preparing “violence against people or destruction or damage to property”, according to the prosecutor, were dispersed by police officers from the Chartres police station, in the night of Friday June 30 to Saturday July 1.

A Dreux, the Electro Dépôt store was the target of thefts, on the night of Friday June 30 to Saturday July 1. “Thefts aggravated by the three circumstances that they were committed in a meeting, with breaking and entering and on the premises of a business”, underlines Frédéric Chevallier.
Eight young men, two minors and six adults, aged 15 to 21, living in Dreux and Vernouillet, were arrested by the Dreux police, supported “by the CRS 8 personnel deployed as reinforcements”, in or around of the looted trade, relates the prosecutor, who specifies: “They are not known to the police or justice services.”

During their police custody, “they did not recognize the facts or minimized them”, continues Frédéric Chevallier. A judicial investigation before the investigating magistrate on duty was opened, “the investigation in flagrante must be continued in order to be able to understand the course of the facts and specify the participation of each”.
The eight suspects were brought before the prosecution and then the investigating judge, this Sunday, July 2. Five of them were indicted for “thefts aggravated by three circumstances” and three were placed under the status of assisted witness for “attempted thefts aggravated”.
On compliant requisitions from the prosecution, they were placed under judicial control “with prohibitions from appearing in Vernouillet and from frequenting” the other suspects. They also have “the obligations not to be absent from their home between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., to respond to summonses from the police station and those of the social controller”.
Seven men will be tried in immediate appearance
Always the same night and always at Dreuxthe Drouais investigators spotted “a group with a view to preparing intentional violence against people or the destruction or damage to property”.
They arrested seven men, aged 19 to 23, “mostly known to the justice services”. Among these suspects, domiciled in Dreux and Vernouillet, five were on board a vehicle which was, according to the prosecutor, “spotted as supplying mortars in different places in the town of Dreux and used against the police”. Inside, mortars and a jerry can filled with gasoline were found.

According to Frédéric Chevallier, the night from Saturday July 1 to Sunday July 2 was “quieter than the previous ones” in the Eure-et-Loir department. “The presence in number of CRS, the arrests and placements in police custody can undoubtedly partly explain this relative lull”, he adds.
The investigation continues after the damage to the town hall of Coudray
“Serious damage” was committed during this night, in particular on the town hall of Coudray, target of a “mass and Molotov cocktail attack”, according to the mayor, Dominique Soulet. The perpetrators of the damage “could not be identified as it stands”, underlines the prosecutor, who specifies that the judicial police investigations are continuing.
