Security services in Tarfaya province stopped on Monday more than 250 people, who attempted to reach the Canary Islands irregularly.

One operation conducted between the town of Akhfenir and the locality of Naila (Tarfaya province) has resulted in the arrest of 85 individuals among a group of migrants who fled and the seizure of 4 dinghies, 4 motorboats, and a large quantity of gasoline.

According to the same source, the security services and local authorities have launched a combing operation to arrest the rest of the group and the organizers of this illegal emigration attempt.

The security services and local authorities have intensified in recent months control operations in the region of Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra, which led to the arrest of hundreds of migrants and the rescue of several boats adrift.
