On their return from a morning’s hunting, several members of the ACCA Le Rallye seurrois had the displeasure of finding nails hammered into their tires. For the association’s president, this was a deliberate act, aimed specifically at hunters.
It’s Sunday, October 27. Johan Tillet, secretary of the ACCA (association communale de chasse agréée) Le Rallye seurrois, a local hunting association, is making the short journey home by car after a morning’s hunting. But he discovers a flat tire caused by a dozen nails.
How did they get there? And especially so many? He says he didn’t realize immediately that his tires were riddled with nails until he got home. “At noon, another hunter called to tell me that he also had nails stuck in his four tires, and then others also contacted me shortly afterwards.”
Johan Tillet decided to retrace his steps to find the origin of the nails, and it was on a communal road leading to the route de Lanthes that more nails were found, as well as in a parking lot not far from Étang-Rouge. “There were several hundred nails across the road and in the parking lot. This represents a strip about 30 to 40 cm wide and 5 to 6 meters long”, he explains.”

“I think we were targeted,” continues Johan, “since this passageway leads to a hunting cabin.” He passed on a message encouraging those who had suffered this vandalism to lodge a complaint with the gendarmerie. At least seven vehicles belonging to members of the association were affected.
