The Paris police have arrested a coke courier nicknamed "Ben the Arrow" ("Ben la Fleche"), who was disguised as a food delivery boy delivering his customers by bicycle.
In the 27-year-old's apartment, investigators found six kilos of cocaine and 450,000 euros in small bills, the newspaper "Le Parisien" reported on Wednesday.
As the investigators found out by monitoring the phone, the dealer supplied around 170 customers, many of them regularly.
He stowed the drugs in a cool bag, the minimum order quantity was two grams.
France's interior minister Gérald Darmanin thanked the police for their efforts against all forms of drug trafficking, including "home delivery".
