Arriving at the scene at dawn, the victim benefited from the involvement of a Guardia Civil officer. Together, they followed the GPS signal to the boarding gate for a flight bound for Rabat. At 7:00 a.m., the signal confirmed that the device was already inside the cabin.

The officer then decided to intervene directly with the crew, announcing over the aircraft’s public-address system that “as long as the stolen phone was not returned, the plane would not take off.” Following this warning, a minor passenger returned the device, claiming to have found it on the floor.
