Cocaine trafficking dismantled in the Landes: home delivery via Snapchat
Law enforcement has put an end to a cocaine distribution network in the Landes department. Customers ordered their merchandise on the Snapchat application and had it delivered directly to their homes.
The gendarmes arrested several members of this organisation. The monthly profits from the trafficking operation could have reached 25,000 euros, according to investigators' estimates. The operation resulted in the seizure of a quantity of drugs as well as equipment linked to this illicit activity.
The suspects will have to answer for their actions in court for drug trafficking. The case illustrates the growing use of social networks by dealers to sell their merchandise.
