Police Seize Nearly 5.5 Tons of Cannabis Resin in Eastern Morocco Safaa Kasraoui Morocco World News Sunday 24 May 2020 Police in the eastern Moroccan city of Nador aborted a drug trafficking attempt on May 23, seizing nearly 5.5 tons of cannabis resin from a car registered in Morocco. A security control operation in the Dar Aarid district of Nador resulted in the interception of the vehicle. The passengers managed to flee during the arrest attempt, a statement from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) has said.

On May 10, Moroccan police also seized 3.5 tons of cannabis resin onboard a truck at the Tit Mellil motorway toll station, near the city of Casablanca. In its 2019 report, the DGSN said Moroccan police seized a total of 179,657 tons of cannabis and its derivatives last year.
