Quantities of food smuggled from the desert to Tata seized

The gendarmerie services of the territorial capital seized a truck and a utility vehicle which were leaving Guelmim towards the wilaya of Tata in the Souss-Massa region, transporting tons of subsidized contraband goods.

The truck and car were searched by gendarmerie officers after suspicions about their cargo emerged, and it turned out that they were loaded with subsidised contraband goods.

The vigilance and efforts of the gendarmes made it possible to foil this smuggling attempt, while approximately 12 tonnes of enriched sugar were seized, as well as significant quantities of oils and various types of pastes.

At the same time, the drivers of the truck and the car were arrested and placed under theoretical custody measures, while the two vehicles were towed with their cargo to the Taghjijt Gendarmerie Center, pending the necessary judicial measures being taken, in accordance with the instructions of the competent public prosecutor.
