A 17-year-old minor managed to escape the police by pulling out a handgun Saturday, in the district of Moulins, in Nice, said the prefecture of Alpes-Maritimes in its weekly report on this sensitive district. At this stage, the individual has still not been arrested and remains actively sought.
During the surveillance of a deal point Saturday by two agents of the specialized field brigade, a young man born in 2006 "rebelled during his arrest," says the police. He then drew a handgun and managed to flee, pointing it at the officials. It was a 357 Magnum revolver, according to the first elements.

Seizure of cannabis and cocaine
Even if the individual has been identified, he remains untraceable this Thursday. During this operation, the police targeted a cellar where drug trafficking seemed to be organized. Last week, 1.2 kilos of cannabis were seized as well as 342 grams of cocaine and 5823 euros.
In this city located west of the fifth city of France, the police do not relax the pressure on drug traffickers. 36 new arrests were made last week, 13 of whom are minors.
