Criminal Network Disrupted Between Fez and Jerrif
On June 9, 2026, police forces from the Fez Security Directorate, in collaboration with local security services in Jerrif, successfully apprehended five individuals aged between 20 and 40. Among those arrested were two individuals with prior criminal records, suspected of involvement in various cases of fraud and impersonation. The authorities believe these suspects were part of a sophisticated criminal network that executed bank scams.
The modus operandi of this group involved making phone calls to unsuspecting citizens, during which they posed as employees of banking institutions. They deceived their victims into believing that they needed to provide sensitive banking information for the purpose of renewing or changing their bank cards. Once the scammers obtained this confidential information, they used it to unlawfully access the victims' bank accounts and steal significant amounts of money.
Following thorough investigations, the police were able to identify and arrest the suspects in Jerrif. Searches conducted as part of this operation led to the seizure of multiple SIM cards and mobile phones, which are believed to have been utilized in facilitating these criminal activities. The arrested individuals are currently under police custody, awaiting legal proceedings under the supervision of the appropriate judicial authorities. This investigation continues as officials aim to uncover any additional connections related to this criminal activity and identify more potential victims.
