Large-scale drug enforcement sweep in Clairval district in Lillebonne
On Monday 29 June 2026, from the early hours of the morning, approximately 200 members of the law enforcement forces were deployed in the Clairval district of Lillebonne (Seine-Maritime), according to france3-regions.franceinfo.fr, which confirms information from Courrier Cauchois.
The operation was coordinated by investigators from Bolbec and Lillebonne. Police officers, gendarmes, canine brigades from Le Havre and Caen, riot police and intermunicipal municipal police (PMI) participated in this large-scale intervention, according to a police source.
The investigations had begun six months earlier, based on intelligence concerning a drugs trafficking operation deemed highly visible by the population and outside observers. This trafficking supplied Lillebonne as well as its neighbouring municipalities, according to the same source.
At the conclusion of the operation, around fifteen people, involved to varying degrees, were arrested. Several were placed in police custody. Various drugs were also seized.
The public prosecutor of Le Havre is to provide further details on this matter on Tuesday 30 June 2026.
