The Tangier police and the Al Hoceima gendarmerie joined forces and seized almost a ton of cannabis resin (locally known as chira) on Thursday, packed in 36 boxes.
The authorities seized, in addition to the illegal substance, an inflatable boat, an outboard engine, and 21 cars with suspicious documents.
The operation was carried out in the Issaguen area near Al Hoceima (North), as the police were screening and searching for a suspected car that might have links to a drug catch made in the Tangier Med port on July 6, 2023.
The car was kept by the Tangier Judicial Police to investigate ties with international drug trafficking rings. The drug and remaining equipment will be checked by the gendarmerie under the supervision of the Public Prosecution.
