In one month, nearly 100 kg of cannabis resin and more than € 25,000 were seized at Campagne Lévêque. About ten people linked to this trafficking were also arrested.
And this Tuesday, October 5, around 6 p.m., around sixty police officers again took over the common areas of several buildings before arresting a man in possession of € 6,000 in cash and a semi-automatic pistol. “We understood that we had hurt them in September, underlines a police officer in the field.
