Elements of the Hay Hassani judicial police (Casablanca) recently neutralised a notorious cocaine dealer, according to a police source.

The suspect and an accomplice, who were in a light vehicle parked on the public highway, had attracted the suspicion of the police who first wanted to verify their identity and the car's papers. The police, after inspecting the vehicle, which belonged to a rental agency, discovered twelve grams of this hard drug and a small scale.

The defendant was referred to justice for hard drug trafficking and possession of a bladed weapon, while a search warrant was issued to catch his accomplice.
