Rabat- It seems that the “Tchermil” epidemic has spread to Marrakech, where two men bound a lawyer‘s hands and muzzled his mouth before stealing money and laptops from his office in broad daylight on Thursday.
Wearing the uniform of a well-known company in Marrakech, two suspects with uncovered faces stormed the office of lawyer Ahmed Aba Darine around 5pm Thursday evening. The office is on Zektouni Street, in the heart of Marrakech.
According to Al Massaa, suspects armed with white weapons tied the lawyer’s hands with a wired rope and muzzled his mouth with a piece of cloth.
One of the suspects, who are believed to be between 30 and 36 years old, shouted in the terrified lawyer’s face, saying “look at me carefully… I don’t cover my face like a coward.”
According to the same source, the suspects stole Ahmed’s safe, which contained MAD 6,000 ($800 USD), as well as many laptops and electronic devices and the lawyer’s cell phone before they ran away.
