Andorran Police Join French Anti-Smuggling Ops with Spain and France

Andorran police officers are conducting joint anti-smuggling operations on French territory alongside Spain's Guardia Civil and France's Gendarmerie, as part of efforts to bolster cross-border enforcement.

The French Gendarmerie highlighted the collaboration in a social media post, sharing photos of the three forces working together to inspect vehicles. The initiative aims to strengthen action against smuggling activities near the Andorran border.

Vehicles marked with Andorran police insignia were visible in the images, positioned alongside those of the Guardia Civil and Gendarmerie during the checks. No further details were provided on the exact location in France, the duration of the operations, or any specific incidents detected.

Such joint exercises reflect ongoing cooperation between Andorra and its neighbours to combat illicit trade, which often targets the principality's duty-free status. Authorities have not released additional information on the scope or outcomes of these particular controls.
