The Royal Navy thwarted on Thursday night an international trafficking operation of more than six tonnes of cannabis resin off the coast of Mehdia, according to a military source.
Combat Units of the Royal Navy, in coordination with the Gendarmerie Royale of Kenitra, prevented the delivery of large quantities of drugs transported by a fishing vessel to a go-fast off the coast of Mehdia, thus thwarting an international drug trafficking operation, the same source added.
Some 230 bundles of cannabis resin weighing more than seven tonnes, thrown overboard, were recovered.
The boarded vessel, its crew and cargo were transported to the port of Casablanca and handed over to the Gendarmerie Royale for the usual legal procedures, the military source added, stressing that search at sea is still underway to recover other bundles.
