Morocco’s Royal Navy seizes over 3 Tons of cannabis resin off Mediterranean coast

The Moroccan Royal Navy Coastguards, operating off the coast of Nador, engaged, Friday, in a chase of two suspicious boats after the latter refused to obey to the order to stop.

The pursuit enabled the units of the Royal Navy to catch the two go-fast boats, equipped with very powerful engines, which were actually used in drug trafficking between Morocco and the European coasts.

The operation resulted in the seizure of more than three tons of Chira, according to a military source.

The seized drugs and material were transported to the port of Nador and handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie for the usual legal formalities, the military source said.
