A police check leads to a three-hour traffic jam northeast of Toulouse
Wednesday, December 14 at the end of the day, an important control of the gendarmerie took place near the municipal stadium of Aucamville. On this occasion, nearly two hundred vehicles were checked, resulting in a blockage of the main axis of the town for three hours.
A long queue blocked the main axis of Aucamville in the early evening of Wednesday December 14, but it was not the vehicles that were returning home earlier to watch the semi-final match of the Football World Cup in front of their televisions.
A large gendarmerie check took place for more than three hours, at the parking lot of the municipal stadium of Aucamville. More than two hundred vehicles were thus checked by twenty-five gendarmes from the Saint-Michel company, four mobile gendarmes and a dog handler from Albi.
“An operation planned for several months”
“It’s a mission that had been scheduled for several months but which falls on the day of this sporting confrontation between France and Morocco”, confides squadron leader Thibault Llosa, assisted by captain Frédéric Legrand. “At the request of the prosecutor, we searched for narcotics and anti-burglary. To this was added a prefectural order looking for any artifice or jerry can of gasoline, in anticipation of the post-match festivities”.
This extensive control surprised all the inhabitants of Aucamville, but also all the vehicles crossing the town, whether they are heading towards Toulouse, Fenouillet, Castelginest, Fonbeauzard, Launaguet or Saint-Alban.
