From one traffic to another.
While investigating crack and heroin trafficking, police officers from the Seine-Saint-Denis territorial security got their hands on a significant convoy of cannabis.
Around sixty kilos were seized and six men arrested.
They have been in police custody since Friday.
In the crosshairs of the police, initially, there was probable crack and cocaine trafficking, near the Porte Montmartre in Paris (18th century), between the tramway and the ring road.
Finally, months of investigation led investigators from the Seine-Saint-Denis Territorial Security to the importation of cannabis from Spain to Île-de-France.

The drug didn't make it past the ring road.
The convoy was stopped in Essonne before dawn on Friday.
The conveyors were unmasked around 4 a.m., near Montlhéry (Essonne), with nearly 50 kg of cannabis, a little more than 40 kg of resin, the rest of cannabis herb.
Four alleged accomplices were taken from their beds from 6 a.m., with, again, a seizure of drugs.
Seventeen kilos of cannabis were confiscated.
A Rolex watch and nearly 1,500 euros also caught the attention of the police during the searches.
Are these multi-card traffickers?
When requested, the Bobigny public prosecutor's office did not comment on the developments in the investigation, which may give rise to the opening of a judicial investigation.
In matters of drug trafficking, police custody can last four days.
