The officials, intrigued by "a strong smell of cannabis emanating from the passenger compartment", continue their investigations and discover a "homemade cigarette burning placed on the armrest of the driver".

As well as two canisters of cocaine, two canisters of MDMA, a small amount of cannabis and 280 euros in cash.

And two tear gas canisters.
