180 detonators, ten plastic breads and forty grenades: the spoils of the flight performed on a base of the army, in Miramas (Bouches-du-Rhône), in the night Sunday to Monday, according to information from Europe 1. The prosecutor opened, Tuesday, July 7 in the late morning, a survey for burglary “committed by an organized gang.” What this spectacular flight on-knows?
# A methodical cutting fences
It’s occasionally a simple patrol Monday afternoon, the military discovered the methodical cutting “two rows of fences,” according to “La Provence”.
A survey was then conducted urgently in this appendix of the 4th regiment of equipment the Army, which role is very strategic since it stores equipment for external operations (“Opex”) carried out by the Army in Africa, and also ammunition depot office.
# No video
On the ten buildings composing the 250 hectares of the site, new alveoli (the place of secure deposit ammunition) would have been visited by thieves. “We are not yet sure that they have gone through [the two fences cut]. The problem is that there is no video for this location,” said a source at “La Provence”.
failings particularly damaging at a time when military sites are still subject to the “Breastplate” operation launched after the attacks of January 2015. Florent Saint-Victor, specialist in defense issues and of the blog host “Mars Attacks” says to “Obs”
The Breastplate operation is the military during the Operation Sentinel [protection in the territory, in addition to Vigipirate, Ed] . E lle is to coordinate and organize the existing protection means military sites. “
David Shell, a journalist for” La Marseillaise “, tweeted a series of photos of the site including aerial photographs that can see the cells installed on the basis of Miramas:
When asked by “L’Express”, Frederic Vigouroux, mayor of Miramas, says, “Site Configuration is right same particular: the field is vast, and includes small widely spaced homes. To give you an idea, we could compare the buildings to small houses in the Paris suburbs. There is a permanent separation between the ammunition and explosives “
# A police dog patrols
At night, the protection of the site. – Where soldiers sleep – is provided by a few guards while nearly 200 military and civilian drive there during the day The dog teams (with dogs) ensure particular day and night on site security Florent Saint-Victor puts the uniqueness of this burglary..
This is not the first time that there is a hole in the devices of a military base – not even in Miramas – flights are not common so far but we’ve already seen in the last ten years. “
Thieves” very knowledgeable “
Grand banditry or terrorism? Investigators are considering the two tracks but especially fear the second hypothesis. Europe for its part 1 suspect “military or former military men who were familiar with the place.” A source quoted by “La Provence” is more prudent and evokes individuals “very knowledgeable, which casts doubts internally.”
According to Florent Saint-Victor, the “ e system has been found wanting “
” The robbers did not search a large number of cells but went directly to specific cells, suggesting internal complicity or a working accurate registration. DPSD (Directorate of Protection and Defense Security), the domestic intelligence service to defense, will check the records of former soldiers who had access to the site to establish a possible complicity. But the search beam is very wide. “
