6.7 kg of cannabis resin, 3.1 kg of grass, 50,260 euros, a rifle and 10 cartridges, a banknote counter, a ball gun, a machete and brass knuckles.
The police got their hands on a lot of loot on Friday in a routine operation.
While they were visiting the common areas of a building located on boulevard Lénine in Vénissieux, a police brigade set off in pursuit of a man who had just fled when he saw them.
The fugitive then rushed into an apartment which, according to a witness, belonged to an elderly person who was physically and mentally vulnerable.
This same witness confided to the police that he was worried not to have seen this person for several days.

The police immediately called the fire department to come and check on the tenant's state of health.
Upon entering the apartment, they discovered the suspect who had just fled and got their hands on the loot.
The suspect, born in 1984, is homeless.
In police custody, he refused to give the names of the people involved in the traffic, but acknowledged the possession of weapons.
As for the tenant, he was heard when he left the hospital and explained that he had been paid to serve as a nanny for a year.
The two men were presented to the prosecution today for a judgment in immediate appearance for "drug trafficking".
