French customs seize huge heroin stash on truck heading for Britain
January 18, 2007 - Herald Tribune
Associated Press

LILLE, France: French customs officials at an English Channel ferry crossing seized 365 kilograms (804 pounds) of heroin stashed inside a truck — the second largest seizure of the drug in France, judicial officials said Thursday.

The heroin, worth an estimated €10 million (US$13 million), was seized Tuesday night in the town of Loon-Plage, near the northern French city of Dunkerque, officials said.

The drug, in 500 gram (18 ounce) individually wrapped packets, was transported in 14 gym bags hidden among the truck's cargo of car parts, officials said.

The Turkish-registered vehicle, headed to an unknown destination in Britain, was driven by a 54-year-old Turkish man, they added.

The man has been taken into custody and was being questioned Thursday. Under French law, the man, who was not identified by name, can be held up to 96 hours.

Authorities said it was the second largest heroin bust in French history. In 1972, officials in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille seized 425 kilograms (936 pounds) of the drug.
