Miscellaneous – Justice | A Kalashnikov found at a dealer in Avignon
Residents were exasperated and have multiplied complaints in recent weeks about a deal point set up near a grocery store in Montfavet. Seized of this investigation, the police officers of the Departmental Security arrested the alleged coalman, Wednesday at the end of the morning, in possession of a half-wafer of cannabis resin and an electronic scale.
A search was carried out at his home with the support of a narcotics dog: 629 g of cannabis resin, 9 g of herbal cannabis, 5 g of cocaine, ¤840 and a Kalashnikov with a neutralized barrel equipped with a magazine filled with cartridges, were seized. Several dozen munitions of various calibers were also discovered, some of which were struck. The person concerned, a 24-year-old man from Avignon, was taken into custody. His weapon of war, although neutralized, which can be remilitarized and be operational again, was seized.
