French authorities intercept over two tons of cocaine valued at $134 million in Le Havre

Credited from: SCMP

  • French police have successfully seized more than two tons of cocaine valued at around €130 million (US$134 million) in Le Havre.
  • The drugs were smuggled using a container clone technique that allowed the narcotics to evade detection following routine customs scans.
  • Authorities explained that this method involves copying registration information onto a replica container to avoid inspections.
  • Two individuals, a truck driver and a dock worker, aged 41 and 22, were arrested and may face up to 30 years in prison.
  • Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau praised the operation as a record find in the ongoing fight against drug trafficking.
