FRENCH POLICE SEIZE 1.2 TONNES OF COCAINE IN RAID PARIS, Feb 13 (Reuters) - A raid on a suburban Paris warehouse netted more cocaine than was seized in France in all of 1998, French police said on Saturday. Seven people were in custody in connection with the seizure of 1,200 kg (2,650 lb) of the drug, they added. The cocaine was found hidden in a van and concealed in a disused merry-go-round being stored in a warehouse in the village of Tigery, south of Paris. Investigators said they had begun tracking the drug shipment after it was unloaded in the northern French port of Dunkerque. They said it had been shipped to France from Latin America by way of the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. {Reuters:International-0213.00071} 02/13/99 - --- MAP posted-by: Pat Dolan
