French National arrested in Tangier


Cannabis resin, found, arrested a French national.
The banned substance was concealed onboard a car registered in France.
A few hours later, a Moroccan woman living in Spain was arrested in possession of 25 kg of hashish hidden in her car.
Customs services also seized, on Sunday, some 23kg of this substance and arrested a French national who tried to smuggle the drug in the dashboard of a car heading for the Port of Algésiras (southern Spain).
Some other 19kg of hashish were seized aboard a car of an Algerian-born French citizen.
In 2007, Customs services at the port of Tangier have made a record seizure of 34 metric tons of hashish in 309 operations and arrested 437 people. The value of the seized quantity on the European market is estimated at Euro 140Mn.
