The Raid police officers arrested him this Tuesday morning at dawn. Some elements are beginning to emerge on the profile of the man suspected of being part of the arsonists at the town hall of Limoges (Haute-Vienne), during the violence of October 17.
Originally from Creuse
Aged 40, he was arrested in Val-d'Issoire, a town in the north of the department located around fifty kilometers from Limoges, but he is from the neighboring department of Creuse. According to a union source, he still resides there. He was therefore arrested at a home that was not his.
