23 verbalizations in a single weekend in Toulouse
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin asked, last week and following the serious accident in Pontoise, all police stations to carry out three anti-urban rodeo operations per day. A total of 16,000 police operations have been carried out since January 2022. A request followed by effect in Toulouse, where since August 8, the police have been operating five operations a day dedicated to this offence.
On a single weekend, August 20 and 21, around a hundred people were checked in Toulouse. Result of the operation: 23 verbalizations, three confiscations of vehicles and two arrests.
If you witness an urban rodeo, the Haute-Garonne national police encourage you to contact 17, 112 or Allo Toulouse on 05 61 222 222.
