This is called a “good pick”. When investigators from the departmental judicial police (SDPJ) of Seine-Saint-Denis invest a pavilion in Drancy on the evening of July 9, they are looking for narcotics. In the course of their search of the home of a 29-year-old man, a professional cook, whom they had been watching since May, they came across some thirty canisters of cocaine and nearly 40,000 euros in cash.
By pushing their search further, they discover three handguns, one of which is referenced as being that of a Parisian police officer. According to our information, this Sig Sauer of caliber 9 mm and its 15 cartridges are the subject of a procedure for theft carried out by the investigators of the 1st district of judicial police (DPJ) of Paris.
Investigations are still ongoing to determine under what circumstances this weapon could have been stolen from its owner. Asked in particular about the presence of the Sig Sauer of a police officer at his home, the suspect, nicknamed Calvin the Chinese, simply declared having acquired “a lot of weapons in a bar in Aubervilliers”, without giving more details on his seller , and having decided to equip himself in this way “after an assault at home” …
Delivery by VTC and Twingo
The police officers of the PJ 93 were also able to trace its modus operandi during their investigations. Equipped with a single telephone number, functioning as a call center, the alleged trafficker received drug orders from his customers before ensuring delivery by private driver.
Particularly organized, the main sponsor of this trafficking also had recourse to the services of his girlfriend and a young accomplice, aged 18. “At the wheel of his Citröen, his girlfriend ensured deliveries between 3 and 8 pm, relates a source close to the case. His young partner, he drove in Twingo and delivered until very late at night in exchange for 150 to 200 euros per day. The customers of this network were mainly Parisians. “
Nearly twenty cans of coke were also seized in the vehicle of his girlfriend, who indicated that she had agreed to engage in this trafficking “for love”. “Her boyfriend still paid her her daily expenses and her rent,” continues the same source. He sold the gram of cocaine between 50 and 70 euros. “
Supported by their colleagues from the regional intervention group (GIR) of Seine-Saint-Denis, specialized in the fight against the underground economy, the police officers of the PJ 93 seized nearly 100,000 euros on the accounts of Calvin the Chinese . A sum which, according to him, would correspond to “11 years of legal work without any expense”.
Charged, he was finally placed in pre-trial detention. His two alleged accomplices were placed under judicial supervision. Solicited, the trafficker’s lawyer, Me Manuel Abitbol, indicated “not wanting to speak with regard to the current investigation”.
