Car intercepted with 1 kilogram of cannabis

The discovery was made during a control operation against human smugglers during the night of 16 to 17 March.

Driver arrested

The officers stopped a car with French number plates. They did not immediately find anything suspicious, but the officers smelled the typical smell of cannabis when the car left. The patrol gave chase and was eventually able to overrun the car. They searched the car and eventually found a transparent bag of 1 kilogram of marijuana.

“The public prosecutor’s office of West Flanders, Veurne department, progressed the judicial investigation. The investigating judge decided to further arrest the man. Soon he will appear before the council chamber,” says the police spokesman.
