Vendors and lookouts
Last March, the police first arrested those who are at the head of the network, nine people aged 16 to 24, who engage in an impressive traffic: more than 10,000 euros in turnover generated per day. Three weeks after this operation, the police find that another deal point has been reactivated not far from the first.
This time, the traffickers take possession of an apartment in a building in the neighborhood where a disabled adult lives under guardianship. They store the drugs there, and the apartment also serves as a point of sale. New net, last Wednesday, April 20 in the early morning, six people were arrested at their homes. They are lookouts and sellers who all belonged to the first dismantled network.
An electric bike at 6,000 euros
Drugs are again seized by the investigators: 100 grams of cocaine, 300 grams of cannabis (grass and resin), as well as an electric bicycle worth 6,000 euros and 2,600 euros in cash.
