Gendarmes from the Les Andelys company arrested ten people at their homes in the Les Bornes neighbourhood of Gisors on 2 November 2026 and placed them in custody.[1] The operation was backed by the Caen GIGN with specialised gendarmerie protection platoons and Eure surveillance-and-intervention platoons.[1] The raid followed several months of investigation by the Les Andelys research brigade, which identified a cocaine and cannabis supply-and-sale network.[1] Discreet surveillance by the Evreux departmental observation and surveillance cell documented transactions between sellers and regular customers, the Eure gendarmerie grouping said.[1] Six of those arrested were brought before the Evreux judicial court on 6 November for an immediate-trial hearing.[1] After the defendants sought time to prepare their defence, the hearing was put off to 4 December, with four held in pre-trial detention and two placed under judicial supervision.[1]
House searches found 13,370 euros in cash, 3.4 kilograms of cannabis, 133 grams of cocaine, 11 grams of ecstasy and category B and C weapons, according to the gendarmes.[1] During questioning, one of the main suspects admitted moving almost 2.4 kilograms of cocaine over one year, turnover estimated at more than 100,000 euros.[1] A second account confirms the same seizure of 13,370 euros, 3.4 kilograms of cannabis, 133 grams of cocaine and 11 grams of ecstasy.[2]
The judicial fate of the four other people initially arrested was not specified.[2]
