Vacation Nightmare: Man Returns to Find Apartment Turned into Drug Den

When the tenant placed his suitcases on the threshold of his apartment at 6, rue Jean-Philippe-Rameau, he found that his key no longer worked in the lock of the front door, reports L’Est Républicain. Strange. He knocked on the door repeatedly. An individual finally opened it from the inside and slammed it in his face.

What happened next? Locked out, the tenant alerted the police. The police arrived on the scene. A 15-year-old adolescent, in possession of 1.6 g of heroin and nearly 300 € in cash, opened the door for them. Amazement.

The adolescent was taken into custody by the Judicial Support Group (GAJ), in charge of the investigation. Questioned, he explained that a third party had installed him at this address to sell drugs. Drug traffickers had thus transformed the apartment into a drug dealing spot, after vandalizing it.

Pending his appearance on June 2 before the juvenile court, the young suspect was held in custody for drug trafficking. For its part, the police are continuing the investigation.
