A joint security operation by National Security and customs agents at the Guerguerat border post, south of the city of Dakhla, made it possible, today Wednesday January 22, to foil an attempt at international drug trafficking and seize 37 kilograms and 683 grams of cocaine.
Border surveillance teams, with the help of trained police dogs, were able to seize drugs carefully hidden inside the engines of two international transport trucks registered in Morocco. The two trucks came from a sub-Saharan African country and their drivers, aged 24 and 47, were arrested.
An investigation was opened under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office to determine the circumstances of the case and determine the identity of the people involved, in addition to tracking down the extensions of criminal activity in Morocco and at the regional and international levels.
This operation is part of intensified security efforts to combat international trafficking of narcotics and psychotropic substances, and to strengthen security at border crossings to combat cross-border crime.
