The catch of narcotics follows one another in the department. During the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, a man tried to escape the Frouzins customs officers at the Union tollbooth. And for good reason, his vehicle was very loaded. Twenty-five kilograms of herbal cannabis were concealed on board. His arrest was agitated since he did not let it go. Customs officers had to employ a device in order to create the tires for him.
The maneuver paid off and he got stuck without being able to escape after an accident. In view of the importance of the seizure, this man, who is not unknown to the justice system, was placed in police custody and charged to the investigators of the territorial direction of the judicial police (DTPJ) of Toulouse. This Friday, after three days, he was presented to the prosecution to be indicted. A judicial investigation was to be opened and his imprisonment was requested.
This 26-year-old man is not the only one to have passed through the hands of the police officers of the judicial police this week. Customs officers still, but this time at Toulouse airport came across a “mule”. This man arrived from South America with his stomach loaded with cocaine. The investigators having to hear it while awaiting the “expulsion” of the drug.
The fight against drug trafficking has been one of the major axes for years. This underground economy and the war of territories that it engenders indeed led, in Toulouse to many bloody settling of scores.
