His cannabis culture invaded his two-room apartment, the smell betrayed him

Cannabis herb.

Drawing.

-

A fortuitous discovery that owes everything to the police's flair, literally.

Last Friday at the end of the morning, Toulouse police officers, including those from the anti-crime brigade, intervened in a building in Bagatelle when a strong smell of cannabis drew their attention to an apartment, which was furthermore equipped with a compromising extractor of air.

Bingo.

When they knocked on the suspicious door, the fifty-something who opened could only confirm that he was "cultivating".

And not just a little.

In the living room of his two-room apartment, investigators found no less than thirty feet of cannabis, 17.5 kg in total, with all the equipment, lamps in particular, that go with it.

An accomplice identified and tried

The file still intrigued the police because the tenant was completely unknown to their services.

Suspecting a complicity, they went back to a 31-year-old man, him very well known, who was probably in charge of selling the goods.

From a police source, the two men were referred on Monday and we made the choice of a "plead guilty" procedure.

They were both sentenced to 10 months in prison, four of which were suspended.

But they were left free at the end of the procedure.
