It was the excitement this Friday around 5 p.m. near the Recogne roundregarding (Libramont). Passing motorists noticed many pedestrians near the road. Everyone seemed to be looking for something. A late egg hunt? No, but we were close. All were in fact looking for a crystal ball hidden by the Radio Contact team. Belgian radio has been organizing this event for a few years now. This great hunt organized throughout Wallonia and Brussels offers 2000 euros to the person who finds the ball, one per province, thanks to clues given on the air and on social networks. On its website, Radio Contact specifies “that the balls are hidden in public places, accessible to everyone and at any time of the day. You don’t have to put yourself in danger to find them”. The problem is that the last clue disclosed in the middle of rush hour revealed a photo near the Recogne roundregarding. The researchers therefore headed there in large numbers, where the traffic was particularly dense. Crossing the road, being in the middle of the roundregarding or even searching the railway embankment, pedestrian safety was more than limited. The police also had to intervene.
The ball found at the other end of Libramont
On the side of the Center-Ardenne Police Zone, we were not aware that such an event was going to occur in Libramont. “The police zone was not notified, moreover it is you who teach me underlines Alain Mercier, commissioner of the zone. If the index was indeed revealed at peak times, it would undoubtedly have been more judicious on the part of the organizers to favor another moment”. On the side of the town, the mayor Laurence Crucifix was also not aware. “You are telling me, I was just going to contact the police to find out what is happening at the roundregarding she points out. There are many people there but it seems that everything is going well. Sidewalks and shoulders are used by pedestrians. I can understand the element of surprise for such a game and therefore that nothing has been disclosed beforehand. I am delighted that Libramont has been chosen for the Province of Luxembourg. I already congratulate the person who manages to find this ball.
At the beginning of the evening, the ball in question was found near the Pause Chocolat Thé, at the other end of Libramont. The clue unveiled therefore completely distorted most of the participants, thus disrupting the Recogne roundregarding.
