Control and careful search operations led to the discovery of this cargo of hard drugs in the form of 16 bales carefully concealed in the cabin and body of an international goods transport truck registered in Morocco, immediately after arriving at the El Guergarat border post from a sub-Saharan African country, said a statement by the national police (DGSN), reporting the arrest of the truck driver and his assistant.

The suspects, two Moroccan citizens aged 40 and 41, were subjected to a judicial investigation conducted under the supervision of the competent Public Prosecutor's Office, with a view to determining the local and international ramifications of this criminal activity and the arrest of all those involved, added the same source.

This security operation is part of the DGSN's intensive efforts to combat international drug trafficking, particularly the illicit trade in hard drugs and psychotropic substances from outside Morocco.
