Moroccan Police Thwart Human Trafficking Attempt Near Ceuta Border

The Moroccan authorities arrested on Friday two young residents of Ceuta who were trying to smuggle at least six migrants from the beach of Fnideq to Spain.
One of the two traffickers arrested is on the police’s wanted list for human trafficking between Tarajal and Beliones and is involved in other migrant trafficking incidents in Ceuta as well as in other armed attacks currently under investigation by the national police.
The two defendants boarded the six young Moroccan migrants on a boat registered in Ceuta, near the La Corniche hotel, reports FaroTV. Other young people seeing the boat jumped into the water to reach it and participate in this clandestine expedition to Ceuta or the peninsula.
A Moroccan agent who was on the beach alerted the coast guard services, which allowed them to intercept the boat, which would have been stolen in Ceuta. An investigation has been opened to determine the origin of the boat.
