Elements of the judicial police of the city of Nador dismantled Saturday, on the basis of precise information provided by the services of the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance, a criminal network active in international trafficking of drugs and psychotropic substances, and seized 3.729 tons of hashish.

 The operation was conducted in Ben Taieb near Driouch, about 90 kilometers from the city of Nador, said the national police (DSN) in a statement, adding that the simultaneous security interventions resulted in the arrest of four individuals for their alleged links with this criminal network.
