HIBAPRESS – Casablanca
As part of the security arrangements in place coinciding with New Year's Eve, the Tourist Brigade of the Casablanca Police Prefecture was able to arrest three people, two of whom are Moroccan and one of African nationality, during a sweeping operation in the old city area.
According to available data, the operation resulted in the arrest of the first suspect, who is wanted for drug trafficking, while the second person was arrested at the Anfa model market, where he was found in possession of nine pieces of hashish in addition to a sum of money suspected to be from the proceeds of this illegal activity. On the level of Lalla Taja Street in the city center, the third suspect was arrested with five capsules of hard drugs, after which he was referred to the Judicial Police Brigade for further investigation, after completing the legal procedures in place. These operations fall within the framework of the intensive security efforts made by the Casablanca Police Prefecture to ensure the safety and security of citizens and visitors, especially during occasions that witness a high density of movement and festive activities.
