A few days after similar events in another church in the city, three young people aged 12 and 13 were arrested on Friday.
Three young people aged 12 and 13 broke into the Saint-Joseph church in Nice, located in the port district, shouting “Allah Akbar” (“God is great”). This intrusion took place during a mass, Friday at the beginning of the afternoon, indicates the first deputy mayor, Anthony Borré, on his Twitter account, in information confirmed by a police source to Figaro.
They then ran away to take the tram. With the various CCTV cameras, the police managed to follow their trail and finally arrested them on Malaussena Avenue. “It still looks like a child’s joke in very bad taste,” explains a policeman. It was Father Bottin who gave the alert following these actions while he was officiating.
Three days after the Saint-Roch church
They were handed over to the national police at the police station (Caserne Auvare). It is now up to the Nice public prosecutor’s office to decide on possible consequences. These facts come three days after a similar situation in another church in the city, in Saint-Roch, where a group of middle school students had also shouted such remarks.
