Police in the northeastern city of Nador arrested one of the region’s most wanted cocaine traffickers on Friday, according to a source from Hespress AR.
The arrest was carried out by the judicial police division of the Nador regional security area in the rural commune of Selouane. The suspect had been the subject of multiple national arrest warrants.
Authorities said the man is implicated in several serious crimes, including trafficking in hard drugs and psychoactive substances such as cocaine and “karkoubi” (a locally used term for psychotropic pills), attempted murder, and illegal possession of a firearm used to threaten individuals and property.
During the raid, officers also seized a significant number of fake license plates, suggesting a high level of criminal planning and an effort to avoid police detection.
The suspect had long been associated with the “Tahthaha municipal slaughterhouse” area — a known criminal hotspot — which locals say had served as a base for his previous illicit activities.
He is currently in police custody under judicial supervision pending further investigation, which is being conducted under the authority of the competent public prosecutor.
