Although she had just bought hashish from a drug dealer, the woman decided to call the police.
It was because, along with the illegal drugs, she had been handed a note by the young seller during their brief meeting on a Marseille housing estate in 2022.

The teenage dealer, a French court heard earlier this year, was one of two boys being held by a gang which they had both initially approached looking for paid work – albeit illegal.
