Spectacular drug seizure in Villeneuve-la-Garenne.
Ten kilos of cocaine were discovered on Thursday afternoon in an apartment in the city.
Two men, who were in the same apartment, were arrested and were still in custody this Friday.
This beautiful seizure is to be credited, according to the Actu17 site, to the flair of one of the dogs of a canine squad who came to reinforce the police officers of the Villeneuve police station who were carrying out, in the middle of the afternoon, an operation to fight against the narcotics.

In the housing marked with insistence by the dog, the police thus discovered, in addition to 10 kg of cocaine, 350 g of grass, a hydraulic press, two bullet-proof vests, three pistols and a revolver.
Another interesting discovery by officials: 55,000 euros in cash hidden, according to the photos published on Twitter by the Hauts-de-Seine prefecture, in the drum of a washing machine.

Last October, six kilos of cocaine were discovered, in somewhat incredible conditions, in an apartment in Meudon.
Thinking of rescuing a 73-year-old retiree whom they imagined to be suicidal, the firefighters had invested the accommodation where they had identified traces of narcotics.
And there again, a stup dog from the canine brigade, called to the rescue, took care of the rest.
Released in the apartment, he had unearthed five loaves of cocaine, presented as pure cocaine, as well as the remains of another opened loaf, a total of 6.325 kg.
The police custody of the two people arrested Thursday in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, in this nurse's apartment, can be extended until Monday.
