Moroccan Customs Seize 13 kg of Cannabis at Ceuta Border Crossing

A customs source quoted by the MAP reports the seizure "on Tuesday during a routine vehicle control operation at the Bab Sebta crossing point, of 13 kg of cannabis resin". This drug was hidden "in specially designed hiding places under the chassis of a car registered in Morocco" which was heading to Ceuta.

It is a Moroccan national who was arrested and taken into custody for the needs of the investigation conducted by the judicial police department of Tetouan.

Exactly a month ago, customs officers had seized 14 kilos of cannabis resin that a Moroccan citizen was trying to smuggle into Ceuta on a motorcycle. The drug was hidden under the steering structure and under the seat. A week earlier, it was a Moroccan expatriate who had been arrested in possession of 19 kilos of drugs.
