CASABLANCA, February 3, 2012 (MAP)

300 kg of cannabis resin was discovered, on Wednesday, concealed inside a bus while it was being cut out in a scrapyard in Casablanca, judicial police said.

The bus, registered abroad, had been seized by customs services in the Tangier port, and sold by auction last month.

The drug was found out when scrap metal merchants were cutting out the bus in order to sell its parts.

An investigation was launched to determine the circumstances of the seizure of the bus to track the traffickers, the source said.
