Dealers adapt to new modes of communication.

For several months now, social networks have become a place for reselling all types of drugs, in particular Snapchat.

It is on this application that traffickers from Tarbes, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, have decided to make their business grow.

Last Wednesday, the police from the anti-crime brigade intervened in a building in the city center of the capital of the Hautes-Pyrénées.

In an apartment rented on Airbnb, several dealers had set up their small business.

Sales made via Snapchat

These inhabitants of Tarbes made their sales there via Snapchat.

The investigation led to a total of ten people being arrested, the police said on their Facebook page.

During the searches, 465 grams of herbal cannabis, 253 grams of cannabis resin and 4,280 euros in cash were seized.

On-line traffickers have been taken into police custody for drug violations.

And will have to answer soon before the court of Tarbes.
