On 28 January 2026 the criminal court in Brest convicted six men of importing
large quantities of cannabis on convoys between Spain and Brest.[1][2]
Four of the six were from Brest; investigators first focused on four men from
the Pontanézen area after a solid anonymous tip in September 2023.[1][2]Prosecutor Wester-Ouisse said their records were dominated by drug convictions
and that their lives “revolve around trafficking” without any effort at
reintegration.[1][2]A fifth suspect lived in Bordeaux and a sixth, Kevin Frohn,
30, from the Paris region, was recruited on social media and “just followed
instructions”; he was sentenced to three and a half years in prison.[1][2]
The court found they had organised thirteen convoys, importing cannabis in
loads of about 80 kg per trip for turnover the prosecution put at more than
ten million euros.[1][2]Phone data, vehicle tracking, toll and border crossings
and hotel bookings linked the defendants, according to the reporting.[1][2]Ouest-France said all six received heavy prison terms and remained in detention
after the hearing.[1][2]
