On Wednesday morning it was discovered that stone monument in Sarcelles dedicated to Yohan Cohen, a 20-year old supermarket employee who was killed by Islamist terrorist Amedy Coulibaly, had been desecrated.

The member of parliament who represents the area issued a statement condemning the defacement.

"It is with the utmost firmness that I condemn the desecration of the monument that I erected in Sarcelles in memory of Yohan Cohen, victim of the anti-Semitic attack on the Hypercacher in Paris," said Francois Pupponi.

He called for those responsible to be arrested and given the maximum punishment for their "despicable acts."

"I will do my best to (work with) the authorities to do everything possible to identify and arrest the culprits as quickly as possible," Pupponi said.
