“The town of Sart-Lez-Spa, on the square, is cordoned off, no one can pass. An armed man has taken refuge. It was while wanting to take my dog out that the police informed me of the situation. Cars and armed police”writes Jonathan via the orange Alert us button. “Place de Sart-lez-Spa on alert”says Carole for her part. “A man apparently entrenched in his house with weapons in Sart, on the square, in the town of Jalhay. They have been there since 6 p.m., ambulance, police and soldiers”sends us a few minutes later Christelle.
Many of you have reported to us a major police deployment in Sart-lez-Spa, in the entity of Jalhay, this Saturday evening. An armed man had taken refuge in his home, tells us the mayor of the town, Michel Fransolet. It was his wife who alerted the police around 9 p.m. She had just left the house with the children.
The police quickly surrounded the house. But without success, according to the mayor. After several hours, a federal police helicopter located the man. He was in a nearby wood. He was heavily armed.
It is unclear what his intentions were. But he was arrested.
