Eight men were arrested near a warehouse which contained 36 tonnes of nitrous oxide. The police officers at the station used information on the presence of this trafficking location.
They seized, on the night of Thursday for sale in Drancy, 31 tonnes of the gas. This dangerous gas with an uncertain status whets the appetite of traffickers. It was almost 8 p.m. when the police went to this building on rue Diderot. Earlier in the day, they had collected anonymous information concerning this place of storage and resale.
