But the investigation entrusted to the territorial direction of the judicial police is progressing, since a 17-year-old minor has been arrested. For the moment, “no other information” has filtered out. Near Rennes, the Frédéric Ozanam school complex in Cesson-Sévigné was also evacuated, with “sheltering of students and staff”, after “reception of an email containing a threat of attack”, announced the Ille-et-Vilaine police on X (formerly Twitter).

On Tuesday, many schools had already been evacuated, not only in Seine-Maritime but also in Seine-Saint-Denis, Hautes-Pyrénées and Yvelines due to threats of attacks.
