large deployment of force for a man entrenched in his home, potentially armed
The impressive deployment of relief and law enforcement did not pass in preview, this Thursday, September 8 around 9 a.m., rue de Rumilly.
Within minutes, the downtown street was cordoned off by the police. At the foot of number 5, a handful of agents from the Annemasse and Annecy anti-crime brigades, heavily equipped, prepare to enter the building in which there is a potentially dangerous man entrenched in his home.
The alert was given at 8:50 a.m. by concerned neighbors. The circumstances that led them to dial 18 remain unknown, but the threatening behavior of the individual scared them enough to call for help. Noting the potential presence of a weapon in the apartment, a particularly strong security device was put in place to supervise the action of the firefighters.
