Moroccan authorities thwarted on Monday an attempt to smuggle a ton of cannabis resin near the city of Errachidia.

The operation led to the arrest of a 30-year-old individual suspected of being involved in a drug trafficking network, in addition to the seizure of fake license plates, and a large sum of money, a statement from the DGSN said.

The suspect was referred to the judicial police under the supervision of the Public Prosecution, in order to investigate and identify and apprehend possible contributors to the operation, the same source said.
