The existence of a masked gang of young men tying up rioters in one town is discussed in French language publications, but the mayor insists no such thing exists and tells locals to call the police if they witness unrest.
Witness accounts of a so-called âbrigade anticasseurâ (anti-thug brigade) in the port town of Lorlent, Brittany are reported by local newspaper Le TĂ©lĂ©gramme. In addition to what is reported by members of the public to the paper, a journalist for the publication claims to have seen a group of between 20 and 30 âyoung, hooded menâ wearing balaclavas and gloves performing unofficial arrests.
Using zip-ties to restrain alleged rioters, the men are said to have then handed their captures onto the regular police on Friday night as well as having been seen putting out fires. Described as strongly physically built, fast-moving, and proceeding in a tightly-packed group, a report in Ouest France says one member of the group told a journalist that he couldnât reveal their identities but that âwe are on the good sideâ and that the group was a spontaneous meeting of friends to protect the city-centre.
