“I hope it has nothing to do with it,” says Patrick Adam, the local mayor, “but I don’t really see the connection between the two anyway.”

A complaint has been filed with local police. “Thanks to the cameras that are installed by the municipality we will be able to recover images,” concluded Adam. We do not want this act to go unpunished. “
