A joint operation between Morocco’s police and customs at the Beni Ansar border post, in Nador city, thwarted an attempt to traffic 53,400 psychotropic tablets Wednesday morning, leading to the arrest of two individuals aged 20 and 30 for their alleged links to a network involved in international psychotropic drug trafficking.
The first suspect was apprehended immediately upon arrival from a European country, according to a security source. A search of his car uncovered 53,400 Ecstasy tablets in his possession.
Investigations led to the identification of a second suspect for his alleged involvement in this criminal activity, who was apprehended following a security operation at the Beni Ansar maritime port, according to the same source.
The suspects have been placed in police custody pending a judicial investigation supervised by the competent prosecutor’s office to uncover the details of the case, identify those involved, and determine the potential scope of this criminal activity both nationally and internationally, the source added.
This joint operation is part of the ongoing and intense efforts by various security services to combat international drug and psychotropic trafficking, as well as all forms of cross-border crime.
