Based on accurate information provided by the Directorate General for Territorial Surveillance, elements of the National Judicial Police Brigade managed on Friday, June 5, to thwart an attempt at international drug smuggling and seize approximately 3 tons of hashish.
This security operation was executed on the outskirts of the city of Ben Slimane, resulting in the seizure of a utility vehicle loaded with hashish following a security pursuit.
