The police came in large numbers to the Tonkin area, in Villeurbanne, last Thursday, November 7 in the evening. A prefect, commissioner, mayor and security deputy toured rue Henri-Rolland, which is famous for drug dealing.
Media meeting to discuss the situation of “this complex area”, as announced by the mayor (PS) Cédric Van Styvendael. Just a week ago, on Halloween, a man was killed with a bullet wound in the face.
“No, we haven’t lost control of Tonkin”
“You can walk perfectly safely in Tonkin. Since the beginning of the year, more than 100 police operations and 130 arrests have taken place here. We are in places that were points of agreement and are today empty of all traffic,” he assures Juliette Bossart-Trignat senior officer delegated for security and defence.
It is true that we did not see any gathering on Thursday night that could suggest a point of agreement. It must be said that the community was well controlled before the official parade. A fourth time earlier, police officers seized an ax and narcotics for sale.
A brigade committed before the end of the year
“We are facing a grand theft, organized drug trade like a mafia and free distribution of weapons. But no, in Tonkin, we have not lost control,” maintains the mayor, who is waiting with equal determination the special military group promised by the ministry.
“The commitment will be kept soon,” the prefect reassures him. In the meantime, police action continues in Tonkin, day and night. »
In this atmosphere that was cleared for the event, the elected officials did not receive much attention from people passing by. However, they had a meeting with the Tonkin Paix-sible residents group. An interview that the media was not invited to.
