Officers of the judicial police in Al Aroui arrested two young men in two
separate operations on suspicion of possessing and trafficking drugs, and seized
drugs, cash and cars.[1]In the first operation, they arrested a man who was
the subject of several search warrants at national level and seized large
quantities of chira, the cannabis resin known in Morocco as hashish, and kif,
cannabis.[1]Officers also took cash and weapons from him and seized two
Mercedes cars used for his movements.[1]
The second operation led to the arrest of another man suspected of trafficking
cocaine, with cocaine, cash that police believe came from sales, and two other
vehicles seized.[1]Police suspect that the cars seized in both operations
were used in trafficking.[2]The first suspect was brought before the
competent court after the legal procedures were completed.[2]The Al Aroui
police commissariat presented the two operations as part of its continuing
campaign against drug trafficking and psychotropic substances.[2]
Neither report gives a date for the two operations; 27 October 2026 is the Arabic report's publication date and 29 October 2026 the French report's, so the arrests may have happened earlier.
No weight or value was published for the chira, kif or cocaine, which the reports describe only as large or unspecified quantities.
Neither report names the two men, gives their ages beyond the French report's description of them as young men, states the charges filed or reports a court outcome.
The Arabic report lists an additional product, «تيكاروتين», among the first seizure without a quantity; the French report does not mention it.
The Arabic report says the first suspect was brought before the competent court after legal procedures; the French report mentions no court step.
The two outlets appear to draw on the same police account rather than independent reporting.
