Employees of the Post office alerted the police of Lannion (Côtes-d’Armor), this Thursday, after having spotted a package with a suspicious odor.

The workers at the sorting center were intrigued by the smell of cannabis that emanated from one of the couriers.

The police therefore went there, reports Ouest-France.

In order to see who the recipient of this package was, the police decided to go undercover.

A profitable stratagem, the man having tried to recover his property under a false identity.

Arrested by the police, this 40-year-old Rospezien explained that he had bought cannabis on the “dark web”, from a German vendor.

His package contained 3-4 grams of cannabis. But the story does not end there.

After this discovery, the police conducted a search of the Breton’s home. 40 grams of cannabis and 10 sachets of CBD (a molecule that is part of the cannabinoid family) were found there.

Added to this is a fake piece of identity that the suspect claims to have obtained, again on the “dark web”.

Unknown to the police, the man was released. He was sentenced to a penal order, taken by the judge, outside a public hearing.
