A person was caught dumping bags of clothes into the Aubetin river in Pommeuse. Alerted by a resident, the Municipal Police intervened quickly and issued a class 5 fine.

Yesterday, an individual was caught throwing bags of clothes into the Aubetin river. A local resident witnessed the act and alerted our Municipal Police, who immediately responded. The perpetrator admitted to the deed.
A class 5 fine was issued and transmitted to the public prosecutor, with a potential amount of up to €1500. The administrative fine procedure, implemented by the municipal council last July, will be initiated in parallel.
"We will not let anything slide. Our environment, our rivers, our paths are not a garbage dump. Everything is systematically done to identify offenders and punish them as severely as the law allows," stated the mayor's office.
Finally, a big thank you to the resident for their vigilance, to those who took their time to clean the river, and to our Municipal Police for their immediate intervention.
