On Thursday 12 and Friday 13 September 2024, police officers from the regional security zone of the city of Ifrane, in coordination with their counterparts in Fez, and based on precise information provided by the services of the General Directorate of National Territorial Surveillance, were able to arrest nine people, including a woman, all with a criminal record, suspected of murder, linked to their connection with a criminal network active in the violent theft of motorcycles.
The suspects had committed a series of violent robberies on the main street of the city of Ifrane, targeting the victims’ motorcycles and personal belongings. The searches and investigations carried out enabled them to be identified and arrested in the cities of Ifrane, Fez, and the rural area of ”Dayet Awa” on the outskirts of Ifrane.
The process of screening suspects in the National Security database showed that two of them are the subject of nationwide search warrants, suspected of being involved in drug trafficking-related cases.
The suspects were placed in theoretical police custody pending the judicial investigation carried out under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office, in order to identify the remaining possible extensions of this criminal activity, as well as to arrest the other contributors and participants in the commission of these criminal acts.
