A 23-year-old man was arrested on Sunday, November 3 in Guelmim, suspected of belonging to a network of burglars. The case began on October 28, when residents of the Al Qods neighborhood discovered that two houses belonging to Moroccans residing abroad (MREs) and a sports hall had been burglarized.

The thieves took a large sum of money, jewelry, furniture and the hard drive containing the surveillance camera recordings of the sports hall, reports Achkayen.
