It was around 6:30 p.m., Friday March 18, 2022, when a team from the Colomiers gendarmerie surveillance and intervention platoon witnessed a strange ride, while patrolling the town of Plaisance-du-Touch (Haute-Garonne), West of Toulouse.
400 grams of cannabis and cocaine, with 2,000 euros in cash
The soldiers indeed see two parked cars in the opposite direction, but side by side, on board two people carry out an exchange through the window. Not missed: it’s a drug deal, in flagrante delicto.
Except that the seller did not really have the typical profile of the perfect drug trafficker: it wasa young dealer, hitherto unknown of their services. Aged about twenty, she was obviously planning to do some pretty shopping that evening: the gendarmes found something on her. 2,000 euros in cashprobably from previous transactions, as well as 400 grams narcotics (grass of cannabis, resin and cocaine).
An “occasional” saleswoman
Arrested, the dealer admitted the facts, assuring the gendarmes that she was not selling drugs “only occasionally”. She was placed under judicial control, pending her summons to court next August.
As for the buyer, he was also arrested. This young client, also in his twenties, will be summoned before the prosecutor’s delegate, for alternative measures to the prosecution.
