Police at fault in electrocuted teens case, says report

“If the company had been alerted at the moment when one of the officers realised the two youths could possibly enter the power station, EDF technicians would have intervened 15 minutes before the accident,” the report said, adding that such steps would not necessarily have prevented the electrocutions.

The report added that Traore and another teen were preparing to rob a construction site when a plainclothes officer gave chase.
