As protests and shoplifting raged across France, a daring robbery took place in Jarry's commune, dwarfing the street riots. On the night of October 22, unknown persons who were well acquainted with the layout of the Permatoma factory entered the workshop and within minutes carried away several hundred kilograms of hefnium, a strategic raw material for aviation and space and the nuclear industry. The damage is estimated at millions of euros. The thieves fled before the police arrived, and the employee who spotted them took cover in security. The unions demand tighter security and the abolition of night shifts. Earlier, in August, at the same factory, a department head was arrested, 500 thousand euros and 150 kg of hefnium were seized from his home.
