In a coordinated and strategic operation, the anti-gang unit of the Fez police department successfully apprehended two individuals suspected of drug trafficking on June 11, 2026. This operation was made possible through precise intelligence provided by the General Directorate for National Security. Early in the day, law enforcement was able to seize an impressive 14 kilograms of cannabis resin, known locally as 'shira', and one kilogram of cocaine from the suspects, who were traveling in a Renault vehicle in the 'Fez Shore' area.
According to reliable sources, the search conducted on the suspects yielded not only the significant quantities of narcotics, which were neatly packaged and ready for distribution, but also a sum of money believed to be proceeds from their illicit activities. It has been noted that one of the apprehended individuals had a prior criminal record related to drug trafficking, highlighting the persistent issue of repeat offenders in this criminal domain. The suspects, who were reportedly en route from the Taza province, fell into the hands of law enforcement due to the well-planned ambush operation.
The two men are currently undergoing judicial investigation under the supervision of the relevant public prosecutor's office, which aims to uncover any further connections or networks involved in this drug trafficking operation. Authorities are also working diligently to identify and arrest any additional individuals implicated in this criminal activity, demonstrating a robust commitment to combating drug-related crimes in the region.
