In recent weeks, residents of rue François Dezeuze, in the Chamberte district, in Montpellier, reported recurring night-time nuisances to 17, the emergency number of police help. They complained in particular of crowds in front of the access to an underground car park of a residence: badly parked vehicles, occupants in great discussion outside and loud music.
Surveillances
Wednesday, police officers from the proximity security group -GSP– the central police station carried out a discreet surveillance at the address indicated. At 11:05 p.m., they surprised two individuals on foot who were going to descend into the free-access underground car park. They fled, but one of them could be reached and arrested and taken to the police station. The premises remained under surveillance and at 12:05 am, police officers from the anti-crime brigade -Bac- in hideout saw a car arrive. The driver, alone on board, parked in front of the box that the police had closed and unloaded bottles of alcohol, cartridges of cigarettes and a dozen canisters of nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas. He was in turn arrested and taken into police custody.
–Permanent traffic
The investigation of the police officers of the departmental security of Hérault establishes that two members of the same family aged 21 and 33 had set up an underground grocery store in the underground box of one of the 22-year-old residents. The latter, who was aware of the trafficking, was taken into police custody. It appears that the products – alcohol, tobacco and bottles of laughing gas – were bought in Spain, brought back to Montpellier and sold to many customers, informed by word of mouth. A permanent clandestine traffic for these last weeks, in full curfew of the Covid-19.
