Five people have been arrested and more than 1,000 fines issued after an illegal New Year’s rave in the French countryside ended on Saturday, local authorities said.
Trucks, sound systems and generators have been seized and Gendarmes officers “are continuing their investigation and checks so that this illegal event is harshly sanctioned,” Darmanin added. Of the 1,200 fines,800 were related to coronavirus restrictions and 400 to drug offenses, head of the Bretagne Gendarmerie forces General Pierre Sauvegrain told reporters.
