Overview
- The minors were arrested on December 3 and admitted involvement, saying they first threw objects such as golf balls before one dropped a concrete block onto a passing car.
- Genetic profiles recovered from the bridge railing and objects at the scene matched the suspects, and telecom analysis placed their phones in Quévert the night of the attack.
- Investigators recently linked the case to a July 9, 2025 incident in Dinan where teens threw water balloons from a bridge and carried stones and a golf ball similar to items found on the RN176.
- The pair, who have no prior convictions, were presented to the Rennes prosecutor and remanded pending a December 9 hearing on pretrial detention.
- The October 28–29, 2024 incident killed a 21-year-old passenger and damaged two vehicles after motorists reported projectiles being dropped from the RN176 bridge.
