Large-scale anti-narcotics raids are ongoing in France, during which law enforcement officers detained 1,738 people.
This is reported by "European Truth" with reference to dpa.
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said the anti-narcotics raids would continue.
He emphasized that the drug trade must be eradicated.
2.4 million euros were confiscated during operations over the past 10 days. Law enforcement officers also seized 150 kilograms of drugs, mainly cocaine and heroin.
Only in Paris and the Seine-Saint-Denis region northeast of the capital, more than 300 people were taken into custody, Darmanen said.
The minister noted that the fight against drugs should be conducted not only in the field of security. According to him, education, the fight against addiction and the issue of parental responsibility also play an important role.
On Monday, anti-drug raids began in France, the purpose of which is to demonstrate the seriousness of the government's intentions to fight the drug trade in cities.
The first raid as part of the operation took place last week in Marseille.
During a recent trip to Marseille, President Emmanuel Macron promised that about 10 such operations would take place in France in the coming weeks.
Last year, 49 people became victims of the outbreak of violence in Marseille, which was caused by the activities of drug gangs.
