Security forces dismantled Wednesday morning, a drug trafficking network, and seized 31 tons and 197 kilograms of Cannabis in Tangier.

The police search operations, based on precise information provided by the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DGST), have led to the discovery of Cannabis inside plastic vegetables and fruits, in a house located in “Bdriyoun” in Tangier, and seized a large trailer for refrigeration containing dozens of “Chira” packs.

DGSN’s statement described the operation as record-breaking.

The police further arrested a 61-year-old man for his alleged involvement in international drug trafficking activities, said a statement issued by the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN).

DGSN noted that the man, alongside those linked to the network, was planning to send the drugs among agricultural products.

“The judicial police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the case in order to determine the people involved in the attempted drug trafficking, and identify the possible ramifications of this criminal activity,” added the statement.

The operation is part of Morocco’s security efforts to combat drug trafficking.
