A family with two young children was arrested last Friday at Pointe-à-Pitre airport with 2,3 kg of cocaine hidden in frozen conch.
The family with two children aged 2 and 5 was "intercepted on leaving Pointe-à-Pitre for France with frozen conch in their luggage", in which customs officers discovered "2,3 kg of cocaine”, specifies the prosecutor of the Republic of Pointe-à-Pitre, Patrick Desjardins.
The husband, a man in his thirties residing in Guadeloupe, was brought before an investigating judge, indicted and remanded in custody.
The two children had to be "subject to a provisional placement order" during the arrest of the parents, adds Patrick Desjardins.
The mother was released Monday at the end of her custody. "For the moment, there are no charges against her," said the prosecutor, adding that an assessment was made on "the situation of the children"._AF
