The customs and police authorities at the Bab Sebta crossing point intercepted an attempt to smuggle 72.4 kilograms of cannabis resin (locally known as ‘ chira ‘) during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, as reported by a customs source.

The operation, conducted in collaboration with the police and the K-9 unit, led to the seizure of a significant quantity of drugs meticulously concealed within various compartments of a vehicle bearing Dutch registration plates. The vehicle was being driven by an individual of Dutch nationality, according to the same source.

Following the seizure, both the vehicle and the illicit substances were confiscated by customs officials. Meanwhile, the driver of the vehicle was handed over to the judicial police for further investigation. The entire process is being supervised by the relevant prosecutor’s office.
