Suspect Arrested in Tangier for $32,000 Theft from Utility Company and Bank

His arrest was possible thanks to the precise information provided by the services of the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DGST).

According to a statement from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the investigations revealed that this 23-year-old man is involved in the theft, last September, of an amount of 32 million centimes inside an agency belonging to the Water, Electricity and Sanitation Distribution Company in Tangier.

In addition, the suspect is suspected of an attempted theft inside a bank branch in the same city in October, the same source said.

Furthermore, several searches carried out at the suspect’s home made it possible to seize keys and professional equipment suspected of being used to break the locks, in order to gain access to the targeted agencies, according to the DGSN.

The suspect has already been placed in custody at the disposal of the investigation conducted under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office, in order to determine the circumstances and ramifications of this case and to identify all the criminal acts attributed to the suspect, the statement concludes.
