Morocco seizes 37 kg of cocaine at the El Guerguerat border post
Dakhla – A joint security operation by Moroccan police and customs on Wednesday afternoon at the El Guerguerat border post south of Dakhla foiled an international drug trafficking attempt and seized 37 kilograms and 683 grams of cocaine, according to a security source.
The border control operation and search, carried out with the help of sniffer dogs, led to the discovery of drug shipments carefully hidden in the engines of two international trucks with Moroccan license plates and coming from a sub-Saharan country. The two drivers, aged 24 and 47, were arrested.
A preliminary investigation has been launched under the supervision of the responsible prosecutor to clarify the circumstances of the case, identify the people involved and understand the extent of these criminal activities both in Morocco and abroad, the same source added.
This joint operation is part of the intensive efforts of the various security services at the El Guerguerat border post to combat international drug and psychotropic drug trafficking, as well as to prevent and combat all forms of transnational crime, the source concluded.
