One individual was arrested for receiving stolen goods, five for conspiracy, and one for destruction of property. One person was arrested for soliciting in public and another for illegally occupying public space.

In terms of seizures, law enforcement officers confiscated seven packets of marijuana and one joint, twelve ecstasy tablets, and 0.5 grams of hashish. The operation also resulted in the impoundment of 21 cars and 143 motorcycles. Police seized 888 miscellaneous items.

The financial report for this operation shows 1,148,000 francs in fixed fines imposed for various traffic violations and other regulatory breaches.
