4 kg of heroin discovered in a package of children’s toys near Toulouse, an open investigation
4 kg of heroin were recovered by gendarmes in Toulouse, after a resident of a city in the peri-urban area, who works for an Amazon subcontractor, gave them a package containing a funny brownish powder .
Toulouse gendarmes discovered 4 kg of heroin, hidden at the bottom of a package containing children’s toys, this Wednesday, January 18, report The Midi Dispatch. It is exactly in the town of Cugnaux, south of the Ville Rose, that the case takes place.
A “double bottom”
A Haut-Garonnaise, working for a Chinese company subcontracting to Amazon, who receives defective packages at her home and then reconditions them before returning them to the sender, recovered an abnormally heavy package. After opening the parcel bound for New Zealand and finding children’s toys, she discovers a “double bottom” filled with a brownish powder.
Frightened that it was a bomb, the Cugnalaise went to the gendarmerie of her city. The analysis revealed that it was heroin. There were 4 kg, the equivalent of €130,000. The scientific police are currently trying to take DNA, says La Dépêche.
