Le Temps, Fre - Vaud police, in a huge dragnet operation involving 180 police officers raiding two bars, several apartments and a centre for refugees in Bex, arrested 54 people Thursday night. Thirty-five of those taken into custody for drug dealing have been formally charged. Police said Friday morning that several weeks of watching the well-organized network of dealers, mainly Africans, had led to the raid. The clients, for the most part, have been Valaisans, they noted.
Police closed the two bars and rescinded their licences.
