Police in Casablanca, in coordination with officers in the city of Bejaâd, arrested two young men early Wednesday morning, April 16th.

The suspects, aged 18 and 21, were apprehended on suspicion of possessing bladed weapons and creating and publishing digital content threatening the safety of people and property.

National security services acted quickly and seriously after photos circulated on social media platforms. The images reportedly showed the two suspects brandishing bladed weapons while posing in front of a police station in the Nassim neighborhood of Casablanca.

Investigations based on these photos led police to identify the individuals. They were subsequently located and arrested on the outskirts of Bejaâd

The two suspects are now undergoing a judicial investigation conducted by the Casablanca judicial police under the supervision of the competent Public Prosecutor’s Office. The investigation aims to uncover all the circumstances and motives behind this case and to identify any other individuals involved in these criminal acts.
