A months-long investigation led to the arrest of a 27-year-old man at his home in Boucé (Allier) on Wednesday morning.
The gendarmes searched the home of the suspect who was the subject of a report for possible possession of firearms, says
La Montagne
.
They eventually got their hands on a shotgun, a modified assault rifle, and 250 rounds.
The occupant of the premises had neither declared the weapons nor obtained authorization to possess them.
The gendarmes also found heroin, cannabis plants, grass and resin, as well as accessories allowing the packaging and resale of drugs.
The man was taken into custody and then taken into custody on Thursday.
He will be tried for the possession of weapons, but also for involuntary injuries.
The respondent is indeed suspected of having fled the scene of an accident in November 2021 where three people were injured.
He allegedly consumed alcohol and narcotics at the time.
