Moroccan security forces have conducted a significant drug seizure, confiscating more than 11 quintals (approximately 1.1 metric tons) of cannabis resin. The operation took place in the Sidi Rahal Chatai area, located in the province of El Jadida, southwest of Casablanca.
According to a statement from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the bust was the result of coordinated efforts by various security services. The drugs were discovered hidden in a vehicle during a targeted security intervention.
Authorities arrested two individuals, aged 31 and 34, in connection with the seizure. They are suspected of being involved in the possession and attempted trafficking of the narcotics. The suspects were placed in police custody for further investigation under the supervision of the public prosecutor's office.
This operation is part of Morocco's ongoing national strategy to combat international drug trafficking networks. The country frequently reports large-scale seizures of cannabis resin, a major illicit crop cultivated in the northern Rif mountain region.
