Moroccan Police Seize 4 Tons of Cannabis in Major Drug Bust Near Spanish Border

The elements of the provincial security district of Nador carried out two operations on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, which resulted in the seizure of more than 4 tons of cannabis resin. The intervention was carried out based on information provided by the DGST.

In a statement, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) indicates that in addition to these significant quantities of chira that were seized, the search operations carried out made it possible to seize equipment and logistical materials used in international drug trafficking. These include five cars, a motorcycle, an inflatable boat and two outboard motors. The police also arrested a 17-year-old youth, suspected of being involved in this criminal activity, the DGSN notes.

The police and the DGST are continuing the security operations in order to identify the other persons involved in this case of possession and drug trafficking, and to determine the possible ramifications of this criminal activity, at the national and international level, concludes the DGSN.
