Customs officers sniffed out a truck at this rest area on the A9 motorway and discovered its illegal hiding place.

Customs officers recently intercepted a significant shipment of narcotics during routine vehicle inspections on major French motorways. In one instance, authorities discovered 165 kilograms of cocaine concealed within the air conditioning system of a truck. The vehicle, which was transporting a legitimate cargo of spices and fruit juice, was stopped during a period of extreme heat on the A6 motorway after officers identified suspicious details during their inspection.

A separate enforcement action occurred on an area of the A9 motorway in the Pyrénées-Orientales department. Customs officials conducted a targeted search near the Spanish border, a region frequently utilized for the transit of illicit goods. These seizures highlight ongoing efforts by law enforcement to disrupt drug trafficking networks operating along major transit corridors.
