Flair and a nice touch for the police officers of the Bac Nord de Marseille. They just grabbed over 1,200 cartons of contraband cigarettes. “The resale value is estimated at 75,000 euros”, says Rudy Manna, from the Alliance union in the Bouches-du-Rhône, joined by France Bleu Provence.
The noses of the police officers during a road check
The operation took place on Wednesday morning during an ordinary road check on the A7 motorway in the direction of Marseille. A police crew from the North Bac observes a driver who seems restless and worried behind the wheel of a delivery truck stamped with “Purpose” stores. After removing the vehicle from the highway, the officials proceed to the identity check of the individual and discover the goods whose origin and destination are still unknown.
