• The police have just dismantled a very lucrative deal point in the Ecus district, in Bouscat, in the suburbs of Bordeaux.

  • Twelve people aged between 22 and 34, and two minors aged 17, were brought before an investigating judge.

The city of Ecus, in Bouscat in the suburbs of Bordeaux, has perhaps never been so aptly named.

The police officers of the urban security brigade have just dismantled a lucrative drug trafficking there, the Bordeaux prosecutor's office announced on Friday.

Twelve people aged between 22 and 34, and two minors aged 17, were brought before an examining magistrate for their indictment.

Requisitions for placement in pre-trial detention have been taken by the Bordeaux prosecutor's office, indicates the public prosecutor Frédérique Porterie.

Call center and private messaging

The investigations carried out upstream had made it possible to uncover a point of deal of narcotic products which had lasted for months.

Organized within the city itself, its turnover was between 5,000 and 20,000 euros per day.

Between lookouts, hooded sellers, dedicated call center with private couriers and even home delivery with scooters, the affair was very well oiled.

An operation was decided last Monday, April 4.

The urban security investigators, assisted by five public road crews, a section of the CDI 33 (Compagnie Départementale d'Intervention), two columns from the RAID and a column from the BRI, intervened simultaneously in about ten of points in the Bordeaux conurbation.

The searches led to the seizure of 103,000 euros, two vehicles, 15.6 kg of cannabis resin, 6.6 kg of grass, 56 grams of cocaine, and several weapons (shotguns, sawed-off shotguns, revolvers and cartridges) .
