Crackdown on Itinerant Criminal Gangs Unfolds in Île-de-France

In a significant law enforcement operation, gendarmes have apprehended a criminal group involved in freight theft in Île-de-France. The operation, carried out on September 17, 2025, is part of an extensive effort to combat itinerant criminal gangs that have been increasingly active in the region. The arrested individuals are believed to have orchestrated numerous thefts targeting freight and transport services, exacerbating challenges in the logistics and transport sector.

Authorities have reported that this group was responsible for a series of coordinated thefts where valuable cargo was taken from freight vehicles. The police action included multiple raids across various locations in Île-de-France, leading to multiple arrests and the recovery of stolen goods. As a result, law enforcement is reinforcing its commitment to tackling organized crime, particularly in sectors vulnerable to theft and trafficking.

This crackdown underscores the increasing focus on ensuring public safety and security in the transport domain, especially in the bustling Île-de-France region, which plays a crucial role in France's economy. The police continue to gather intelligence to dismantle such operations effectively and prevent further criminal activities from itinerant groups.
