Rabat – A coast guard patrol operating under Morocco’s Royal Navy arrested three Spanish drug smugglers in the Mediterranean Sea.
The patrol boats seized a ton of hashish, also known as “chira”, off the coast of Morocco’s northernmost Ksar al Saghir. The small town is located approximately halfway between Tangier and Ceuta.
Residents of the town can see the Spanish shores to the north as Spain lies just 76 kilometers away.
Morocco’s Royal Navy coast guard unit also recovered the equipment that the smugglers used to transport the illicit goods.
The patrolling officers handed over all of the recovered materials to the Royal Gendarme at the Port of Ksar al Saghir.
