The Fez judicial police arrested, on Wednesday, a driver of a goods truck, suspected of involvement in a criminal network active in drug trafficking.

The suspect, aged 33, was arrested on board a truck registered in Morocco in the rural commune of “Ghouazi” located between Kariat Ba Mohamed and the town of Jorf El Melha, said the national police (DGSN) in a statement, noting that search operations inside the truck resulted in the seizure of 02 tons of hashish and a sum of money suspected to have originated from this criminal activity.

The suspect has been placed in police custody to complete the preliminary inquiry conducted under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office, while investigations are under way to determine the potential ramifications of this criminal activity and to arrest all persons involved, the DGSN added.

This operation is part of the ongoing security efforts to combat drug trafficking, the statement concluded.
