When the police intervened, “about fifteen people” were present within the property. Verbalized for non-compliance with confinement, they said they had come “for a birthday”.
“Night club look”
Mayor Olivier Dosne (LR), present during the police intervention, said he was “stunned that the room is still welcoming the public this evening”, specifying that the interior of the pavilion looked like a “nightclub”.
“We closed the place, even if it is private property, (…) at least to block (access) for this night,” he said.
According to the councilor, most of the participants came from Drancy, city of Seine-Saint-Denis, located about fifteen kilometers from Joinville.
Several indictments
Last weekend, in this same pavilion, between 300 and 400 people participated in a private party. And at least one of the participants had tested positive for Covid-19.
