The National Judicial Police arrested on Friday 10 people, three of whom have criminal records, on suspicion of being linked to a criminal network specialized in the preparation and manufacture of firearms.

The National Security said in the press release that the security services had appointed 153 police officers, including deans, judicial police, agents, and supervisors of trained police dogs to carry out this operation in several mountainous areas near Taza.

Additionally, 34 police vehicles were deployed to carry out intervention operations.

Members of this criminal network are suspected of illegally preparing and assembling firearms, and distributing them, according to preliminary research data.

The suspects were kept under custody supervised by the competent Public Prosecution in order to reveal the details as well as to arrest all those involved in this case.
