- Officers stopped a France‑registered vehicle from Spain on the A54 at the Arles toll late on November 20 and uncovered narcotics behind a façade of fresh produce.
- Searches with a canine team revealed 329.32 kg of cannabis and 27.18 kg of cocaine packed in trash bags and five so‑called Moroccan suitcases.
- The haul is valued by customs at more than €4 million, and the drugs were transferred to Ofast in Marseille for further handling.
- The driver was placed in customs custody, presented in immediate appearance, remanded in pretrial detention, and is scheduled for trial on January 27, 2026.
