“He explained that he had found the crack on the ground, but he is on the verge of a deal every day

Criminally irresponsible
The teenager, placed in a home, was already known to justice but not for facts related to narcotics.
He should soon be summoned before a delegate of the prosecutor for cannabis use,
"the facts of use or acquisition of crack not being characterized against him"

The situation worries the first vice-president of the Oise departmental council and Compiègne security assistant, Éric de Valroger.
