A man suspected of manufacturing dangerous firearms and committing a robbery has been sent to the Ain Sebaa local prison by the Public Prosecutor at the Casablanca Court of Appeal.

The suspect was arrested following an armed robbery at a money transfer agency in Bouskoura, according to sources from Hespress.

The incident occurred a few days ago when the suspect used a firearm to threaten an employee at the agency and steal a sum of money. The investigation revealed that the suspect, who previously worked at an aluminum and iron company, had been setting up a workshop to manufacture guns and other firearms.

He decided to execute the armed robbery after preparing his workshop.

The Royal Gendarmerie in Bouskoura, under the guidance of the regional command, launched an operation to apprehend the suspect. He had concealed his identity by wearing a mask during the robbery.

The authorities discovered hidden firearms in a sewage area.

The breakthrough came when investigators identified and questioned a local individual, leading them to the true suspect.

The prompt arrest of the suspect and the discovery of his workshop prevented the potential misuse of the firearms he had been manufacturing.
