(Breitbart) Three French youths arrested with a large number of illegal drugs told investigators they were stocking up before the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Police seized 4 1/2oz of cocaine, 8lb of marijuana, 4 1/2oz of cannabis resin, and 2 1/2oz of ecstasy from the three suspects, two of whom are brothers.
The three youths, aged 21, 24, and 27, claimed the drugs were for their consumption rather than for selling on to others and that the large amount found in their possession was because they were stocking up before the start of the Islamic holy month, according to La Depeche.
Investigators say that they also found scales, knives, and a hundred or so small bags that led them to doubt the drugs were for personal consumption, as the trio had claimed.
