Moroccan security forces and customs officers seized nearly 200 kilograms of cannabis resin in a joint operation Wednesday at the Guerguerat border crossing, south of Dakhla, authorities said.
The 196 kilograms of hashish were discovered hidden inside a shipment of household furniture aboard a Moroccan truck bound for a sub-Saharan African country, security officials said. The truck’s 34-year-old driver was arrested.
The seizure followed detailed monitoring and inspections that included the use of trained sniffer dogs, according to the same sources.
Prosecutors have opened a judicial investigation to determine the circumstances of the case, identify possible accomplices, and track the network’s national, regional, and international connections.
Authorities said the operation reflects intensified efforts by Moroccan security and customs services at the Guerguerat crossing to combat international drug trafficking and cross-border crime while safeguarding national security.
