The judicial police of Nador aborted Saturday night a drug trafficking operation, on the basis of accurate information provided by the services of the Directorate General of Territorial Surveillance (DGST), and seized 5,000 ecstasy tablets.

This operation was conducted at the entrance to the city of Laroui when two individuals aboard a car were suspected of trafficking psychotropic drugs, the national police (DGSN) said in a statement.

Search operations of the vehicle and the houses of the suspects led to the seizure of 5,000 ecstasy tablets, nearly 50 grams of cocaine and 40,000 dirhams allegedly resulting from the criminal activity.

Checks against wanted person’s database revealed that one of the suspects was the subject of a national wanted notice for drug trafficking, according to the same source.

The two suspects were placed in police custody at the disposal of the investigation carried out under the supervision of the prosecutor’s office in order to identify all persons involved in these criminal acts and determine the regional and international ramifications of this activity and possible links with international trafficking networks of ecstasy, the DGSN concluded.
