Police officers from Grenoble’s anti-crime brigade noticed a man hiding behind a van and showing his contents to two men who were about to give him a 20-euro note.

The first attempted to remove the bag from the van by throwing it under the van as the police approached. The suspect, an Algerian national who claimed to be 18 and homeless, was found with drug bags inside. He also had a stolen watch. He was taken into custody and arrested.
