Police intercept suspicious vehicle

A patrol from the Béziers police station intercepted a vehicle on a path near the prison facility during the night of October 28. The location was chosen to avoid detection, as the path is close to the prison but not directly on its premises.

Drone and drugs discovered

During the check, the police discovered that one of the occupants was in possession of a drone and a package prepared for an illegal delivery to the prison. Inside the package, they seized 97.25 grams of cannabis and 29.10 grams of cocaine.

Delivery method and roles

The package was intended to be delivered by drone, a method often used to bypass security measures at correctional facilities. According to the investigation details, the female passenger, aged 21, had the role of driving her accomplice to the location.

Accomplice’s role

The 18-year-old male was supposed to retrieve the drone to carry out the delivery of the package. Both individuals are now under investigation for their roles in the attempted drug smuggling operation.
