The two young men had reason to fear the police.
So much so that at the sight of a patrol circulating avenue Pierre Sémard, Sunday afternoon in Vénissieux, they carried out a maneuver to avoid them.
The 18-year-old driver did not hesitate to crash into the officials' vehicle, ramming the front bodywork.
When the police decide to check them, the driver refuses to comply and flees.
It was only when they reached a dead end in the 8th arrondissement of Lyon, a few kilometers away, that the police managed to arrest the two suspects, unfavorably known to their services.
20 kilos of cannabis
The driver was in default of a license and tested positive for cannabis.
The search of the vehicle led to the discovery of 20.9 kilos of cannabis.
The driver admitted the facts while the passenger, aged 22, only admitted having knowledge of the transport of narcotics.
They were presented to the prosecution on Wednesday and imprisoned awaiting their judgment in immediate appearance at a deferred time.
The vehicle was seized.
