Police officers from the Sidi Bernoussi security district in Casablanca arrested nine individuals on Thursday evening for their alleged involvement in acts of violence related to hooliganism and the destruction of public property, according to a security source.
After being alerted to the involvement of a group of football supporters in an exchange of violence and stone-throwing, endangering the safety of people, patrols from the Casablanca police services intervened immediately to restore public order, the same source continued.
These criminal acts, which resulted in one injury among the police officers, also caused material damage to a law enforcement vehicle, the same source added, noting that searches and investigations led to the arrest of the nine suspects in possession of a bladed weapon, two smoke bombs, and stones.
The suspects have been placed in police custody for the judicial investigation conducted under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor's office to clarify the ins and outs of this case, while searches and investigations are ongoing to apprehend all persons potentially involved in these criminal acts, the same source concluded.
