Alarm drives gas station robbers to flight


The gas station in the district Horsepower has been attacked. A brave employee immediately triggered the alarm, the perpetrators escaped. Now the police ask for clues.

On Monday evening, an unknown culprit failed to attack a gas station in the district of Horsepower. As the police announced on Tuesday, the man entered the fuel shop at 9:25 pm at the Wilderness Landsteiner, went straight to the bar and threatened the employee with a knife. However, when the gas station employee triggered an alarm, the intruder took off without loot. He fled towards the southern restaurant.

The employee not only acted with courage but also looked closely so that there is a fairly concrete description of the perpetrator. The man is about 1.70 meters tall and of normal stature. In the raid, he wore a blue hooded jacket with reflective materials and chest features, blue jeans, and black white-soled shoes.

He had a peaked cap on his head and carried a gray handbag with him, as well as a striking blue shopping bag with red reflective tape.

The police are now looking for possible witnesses. Anyone who has observed the crime or can provide information on the person described is asked to contact the police in Wilderness, phone 04431/94 10, in conjunction.

Tear gas in front of the arena


Nemeses and the Yellows: An innkeeper closing his brasserie for the day warns the guests in front of the Black Block. His colleague in another restaurant initially thought the move was good, but now it was too much. The owner of a shop selling precious bullfighting devotional items does not think to lock up, and our hotelier has heard nothing of impending riots.

This changes when the old town becomes a staging area during the Saturday afternoon. For a while, the "gilet jaunes" and the black uniforms of the CRS, the companies Republicans de Security, perform skirmishes around the arena. Stones fly, trash cans burn, the scenery reminds of May 1st festivities in Kreuzberg. Only come here no emergency vehicles, the streets are too narrow.

The Muse de la Romania - one of the most beautiful places to study ancient life, a world-class presentation - closes in the tumult, the arena is also locked. On the square in front of it stands a sculpture of the famous matador Christian Montcouquiol, called "Anime II". He holds his metal cloth in the wind, a dumb Ola.

The police drive the protesters into the old town, and perhaps the reflective fabric wants to lure the officials in the confusing network of streets, squares, passages. There are some slightly injured and a few arrests, hardly any material damage. Obviously, the protest is not directed against local business people.

The yellow vest with reflective tapes is also a camouflage for democratic enemies
An international flamenco festival opens on the weekend in Nemeses. The vernissage in the early evening is canceled for security reasons, the premiere will take place later. We go down the alleys to the food, which two or three hours before were wrapped in acrid mist and echoed off the boots of the CRS. The restaurant is called "Impressive", the unforeseen, unexpected.

Later, the bars are busy again. It is cold, but many guests are sitting on the Boulevard Victor Hugo, which leads from the Maison Carrie to the arena. The shop windows of the banks are broken, thrown in and sprayed: "Le capital c'est du caca" and "Voleurs!", Thieves.

The safety vest with the signal color can cover anybody, no matter which color, it is also a camouflage for democratic enemies. Will the "tenth act" bring more people to the streets next Saturday, is it a small revolution?

The official's fire cartridges in the streets. You can easily get caught between the fronts. Vite, vite, says a policewoman. We take a hundred meters to the entrance of our hotel at a run. The gas etched in the throat, tears in the face. Vite, vite! The yellow vests will not be forgiven that fast. Not even the global problems that they tackle by force, because politics fail in their eyes.

Six people died on the roads last year


Pedestrian safety is one of the priorities of police officers in the Highlands. This is why various traffic safety actions focusing on the visibility of pedestrian road users are taking place.

Last year, policemen in the Sonatina Region surveyed a total of 101 traffic accidents involving 120 pedestrians. "In these traffic accidents, six people were killed, thirteen suffered severe injuries and 92 pedestrians were injured easily in accidents. Only nine pedestrians escaped the accident without injuries, "police spokesman Dana Overtook informed. Even though the number of accidents decreased, the tragic consequences were the same as a year earlier.

Most accidents, exactly seventy-seven, happened in the day. Four pedestrians died there. Frequent shame is the passage outside the transition. "The pedestrian is obliged to use the pedestrian crossing when crossing the road when it is within fifty meters away. The pedestrian crossing is on the right, "the spokesman reminded. It is not allowed to enter the crossing just before the approaching vehicle. Likewise, they may not overturn the railing or other obstacles on the road.

Accidents that occur in the evening or night can be effectively prevented by the use of reflective materials.

"It is an obligation which significantly contributes to the reduction of the risk of collisions of persons with vehicles in places that are insufficiently illuminated while missing the sidewalk," said Overtook and added: "With the reflective tapes or reflective vests, the pedestrian can be seen at a distance of 200 meters so that the driver has the ability to respond adequately. "

Two tragic accidents involving pedestrians took place last year on the D1 motorway leading to the Highlands. In August, in a passenger car crash, one of them crashed a thirty-four-year-old construction worker. In September, the car crashed a seventeen-year-old man who, for unproductive reasons, entered the tram of the lorry under reduced visibility.
