Operations to combat drug trafficking carried out on Wednesday by the police in Casablanca in the area of the old medina led to the arrest of 15 people, two of whom were the subject of national search warrants.

The searches carried out in connection with these arrests led to the seizure of several doses of the drug “lpoufa” and cocaine, in addition to the confiscation of boxes of sodium bicarbonate and plastic bottles used in the preparation and consumption of “lpoufa”, a security source said.

The searches also led to the seizure of a quantity of chira (cannabis resin), sharp weapons and a sum of money suspected to be the booty of this criminal activity, the same source added.

The suspects were taken into custody for the purposes of the investigation, which is being carried out under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, in order to determine the circumstances of this case, as well as to identify and arrest other acolytes involved in this criminal activity, notes the same source.

The results of these operations are part of the intense and continuous campaigns carried out by the Wilaya of the Casablanca police with the aim of drying up the sources of trafficking in drugs and psychotropic substances in all its forms, the same source added.
