Police in Albi raided a suspected drug courier after a surveillance operation in the Cantepau area led them to an alleged “sacocheur”, someone charged with carrying or handing over money and drugs. On 27 October, the suspect was intercepted by officers from the Albi police anticriminality unit. Police found 880 euros in cash on him, along with 10 grams of cocaine, 43.5 grams of cannabis, and 16 grams of cannabis herb. Officers then searched his place of residence, seizing an additional 81 grams of cannabis resin. A second operation carried out at an alleged supply address brought more seizures, including 23 grams of cocaine, 33.6 grams of cannabis resin and 174 grams of cannabis herb. In total, police seized 33 grams of cocaine, 158.1 grams of cannabis, and 880 euros in cash. The man was taken into custody after his arrest and referred to the courts. The court response came quickly. He was sentenced to 13 months of prison with no suspended portion and taken to the Albi remand prison to serve his sentence.
