HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Zerriouh
Elements of the Regional Judicial Police Service in Nador, on the morning of September 21st, apprehended a 39-year-old individual on suspicion of involvement in a case related to drug possession and trafficking, following a security operation that resulted in the seizure of a significant quantity of hashish.
The case details go back to September 19th, when security services managed to seize 23 kilograms and 500 grams of hashish, which were in the form of blocks carefully hidden inside cardboard plates containing sweets, among unaccompanied luggage on a truck registered in Spain, which was preparing to depart for Barcelona.
Investigations and inquiries initiated by the security services led to the identification and apprehension of the suspect. He was subjected to police custody under the order of the competent public prosecution, pending the completion of the investigation aimed at determining all the circumstances and details of the case and uncovering the potential ramifications of this criminal activity.
Furthermore, a search conducted at the suspect's residence led to the seizure of three additional cardboard plates containing sweets, suspected of potentially being used in the same method for concealing and transporting drugs. This operation falls within the framework of continuous security efforts to combat international drug trafficking networks and confront the smuggling methods employed.
