Three Individuals Arrested in Marrakech for Suspected Drug Trafficking
In a significant police operation conducted in the early hours of Saturday, September 26, 2026, the urban police department of the first security district in Marrakech successfully apprehended three individuals who were allegedly involved in the possession and trafficking of narcotics in the Gueliz neighborhood. According to information obtained by Al Mayadeen, the suspects were employed as security guards for a motorcycle and bicycle parking facility located near a well-known restaurant in the area. Investigative efforts and field inquiries initiated by law enforcement led to suspicions that they were misusing their jobs as a cover for engaging in illicit drug distribution activities.
The operation unfolded following a series of investigations that began on the evening of the previous Friday and continued into the early hours of Saturday morning. Subsequently, police forces intervened to arrest the suspects, during which searches yielded a quantity of narcotics, including hard drugs and hashish, as well as psychoactive pills, according to preliminary investigations. The three suspects have been placed under police custody as ordered by the relevant public prosecutor, allowing for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the case. Authorities are also working to identify the source of the drugs and whether there are any connections to other individuals potentially involved in this illegal activity.
