Vandalism and arson: unknown youths saccage an Ehpad in La Loire

Police officials confirmed that a group of young men broke into the Les Tilleuls Ehpad at night, setting fires to trash cans inside and out before fleeing. The attack occurred around 2 AM on November 11 when staff spotted two suspects ransacking technical areas including the kitchen. They threw projectiles through windows, forced entry, and scattered food from refrigerators onto floors while igniting waste bins near three vehicles outside. Firefighters extinguished the flames quickly preventing any casualties among residents sleeping upstairs or staff members threatened during the incident. Prosecutor Anne Gaches opened an investigation for destruction by fire in Saint-Étienne.
