Police and customs services in Tangier Med Port (North) foiled, on Saturday, an international drug smuggling operation, and seized 5 tons and 438 Kg of cannabis resin (Chira).

Police sniffer dogs spotted the drug inside the vehicle’s iron structure.
The 45y truck driver, a Moroccan, presented forged export documents upon inspection which raised suspicions and prompted further search.
