French Tourists Targeted in Late-Night Robbery in Marrakech’s Old Medina

According to the Kech24 website, the victims were intercepted by a pickpocket on a large motorcycle as they were walking back home late at night.

Taking advantage of the lack of street lighting in the old medina district, the thief snatched a smartphone from a tourist before fleeing.

This district is well known to be a black spot in the city of Marrakech where snatching is perpetrated throughout the day, due to the large number of visitors.
