Rabat – Moroccan police and customs officers arrested two women in possession of 11,700 psychotropic pills on August 9 at the Ceuta crossing point.
The security services found the drug concealed inside milk cans under the clothes of one of the women.
The two women were heading to Morocco on board a Spain-registered car.
The suspects have been taken into police custody for further investigation to determine the circumstances of the case.
Moroccan police at the crossing point at the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla are intensifying efforts to curb drug trafficking attempts.
In May, Morocco’s Administration of Customs and Indirect Taxes (ADII) said that Moroccan security services seized 836,808 units of psychotropic drugs in 2018 alone, including dangerous varieties, such as ecstasy and rivotril.
The number of psychotropic drugs seized increased from 140,000 seized in 2017 to 836,808 in 2018.
