French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin travelled to the southern city of Nîmes on Friday to address the issue of drug crime that this week claimed the lives of a 10-year-old child and an 18-year-old man.
After offering condolences to the families of the victims, Darmanin confirmed that a unit of 60 special riot police (CRS) would be deployed in the Gard department until at least the end of the year to crackdown on drug traffickers.
