This operation was carried out on the freeway linking the towns of Bouznika and Mohammedia, according to the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) in a press release. The driver of a commercial vehicle loaded with the seized drugs tried to drive in the opposite direction of the freeway in order to escape the pursuit of the law enforcement officers, before leaving his vehicle and fleeing.
The searches carried out led to the seizure of 110 packages of Chira stored inside the vehicle, weighing a total of 4 tons and 168 kilograms, according to the same source.
The BNPJ has opened an investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecution in order to arrest all the members involved in the activities of this criminal gang and reveal its national and international ramifications, the press release concludes.
