The identity of these individuals has not been revealed given that the files will be submitted to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions.
The Repentigny Police Service (SPVR) announces that it has arrested eight people in the case of altercations with students from l'Horizon school, and a ninth person will be arrested, report the City and its police service.
The identity of these individuals has not been revealed given that the cases will be submitted to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions.
"The charges in the cases range from intimidation to harassment, assault and disturbing the peace," indicate the SPVR and the City of Repentigny in a brief statement, who "will therefore make no further comments on this case."
However, on his Facebook page, Mayor Nicolas Dufour discusses it. "This is why, throughout the week, we invited you to be cautious and to respect the work of the police officers," he writes.
"Now, justice will take its course. I remind you that under the Canadian Constitution and the principle of separation of powers, it is not a municipality that determines the Criminal or Penal Code," the mayor concludes in his post.
The video Altercation repentigny.mp4
In videos circulating on social media, taken near L'horizon Secondary School, in the Le Gardeur neighborhood, we see a group of young people approaching the convenience store across from the school.
We see an elderly person exit the store and grab a young Métis person by the collar. The latter also grips the elderly person in an altercation. Other young people got involved by violently attacking the elderly person, forcing him to release the young person.
Then, all the young people involved in the altercation withdrew, as can be seen in the video.
