In a recent incident reported by local authorities, two teenagers, approximately 16 years old and hailing from the historical neighborhoods of Marrakech, were apprehended for vandalizing an ATM. According to police sources, the situation unfolded when the suspects smashed the glass facade of the automated teller machine before attempting to blend into the crowd at the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square.
The swift action taken by law enforcement proved crucial in tracing the minors' movements, allowing them to locate and apprehend the individuals within a short time frame following the act. After their arrest, the juveniles were transported to the local police station for questioning.
The public prosecutor subsequently directed that they be transferred to the juvenile division of the regional judicial police for further investigation, aiming to uncover all circumstances surrounding this act of vandalism.
