For the tenth consecutive day, the Marrakech Security Prefecture has intensified its crackdown on crime and traffic violations, aiming to enhance public safety and address reckless driving.

During the night of September 2-3, police across the prefecture arrested 425 individuals. This includes 122 people wanted on national warrants and others involved in crimes against public morals. The arrests were part of an ongoing effort to combat a range of criminal activities and uphold public security.

In addition to tackling crime, authorities have focused on improving road safety. Traffic enforcement operations led to the impoundment of 46 vehicles due to dangerous and reckless driving. Traffic police units issued 1,091 citations, including 570 for riding motorcycles without helmets. Eight individuals are facing judicial investigations for allegedly operating unlicensed transportation services.

The security operations involve multiple agencies within the Marrakech Security Prefecture, including judicial police, urban authorities, and traffic enforcement teams, as well as support from central National Security services.

In total, the ten-day initiative has resulted in the arrest of 2,956 individuals and the impoundment of 415 vehicles for traffic violations, underscoring the prefecture’s commitment to enhancing public safety and order.
