At the request of the public prosecutor, an operation at Montauban station gave good results on Tuesday October 29, 2024 in the evening. On the platform of the Montauban SNCF station, the passenger of a train from Paris was found in possession of more than 2 kilograms of cocaine. He was arrested.
A passenger coming from Paris was arrested by the police when he got off the train on the platform of the SNCF station in Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne), in possession of more than 2 kilograms of cocaine on October 29. The intervention took place as part of a control operation carried out at the request of the public prosecutor, testifying to the close cooperation between the national and municipal police forces, both engaged in the protection of the population and the fight against against delinquency.
An estimated market value of €145,000
The quantity of narcotics seized represents an estimated market value of 145,000 euros, a significant amount which alerts to the scale of trafficking. This arrest was made possible thanks to the coordinated interventions of the police forces, for whom the distinctions between “national” and “municipal” uniforms fade behind a common mission: to guarantee public security and tranquility.
Indeed, national and municipal police work together to achieve the same objectives: preventing criminal acts, deterring criminal behavior, and protecting fellow citizens. In Montauban, this strategic collaboration is intensifying to meet growing security requirements, especially in areas identified as sensitive.
Referred the same day
Following his arrest, the suspect was brought before the public prosecutor that same day. He ordered his placement in pre-trial detention, pending his judgment before the Montauban judicial court. Faced with the seriousness of the facts, the judicial authorities are mobilizing to ensure that justice is delivered rigorously and quickly.
The police announce that control operations will be renewed daily in the coming weeks, in various sensitive areas of the city. These recurring field actions remain one of the most effective levers for fighting all forms of delinquency and regulating irregular immigration, helping to make Montauban a city where the safety of all remains an absolute priority.
