Thousands of narcotic pills seized in Meknes

Authorities in Meknes, Morocco, have successfully intercepted a significant drug trafficking operation, seizing approximately 11,845 narcotic pills and apprehending three individuals suspected of involvement. The operation was a collaborative effort between the Meknes security services and the General Directorate for National Territorial Surveillance (DGST).

The arrests occurred as two suspects arrived at the entrance of Meknes in a vehicle originating from a northern city. During the initial search, police discovered 10,370 narcotic pills of various types and 204 grams of cocaine in their possession. This initial bust triggered further investigations.

Subsequent investigations led authorities to identify a third suspect linked to the criminal activity. A search of this individual's belongings uncovered an additional 1,475 narcotic pills. All three suspects have been placed under judicial investigation, overseen by the public prosecutor's office, to uncover the full scope of the drug trafficking network and any potential accomplices.
