According to a statement released by the Gendarmerie's regional group, the operation resulted in the seizure of nearly 22kg of processed cannabis. This effort is part of the ongoing campaign to combat organized crime and illicit trafficking of narcotics and psychotropic substances.
The operation was carried out after setting up a monitoring and inspection point by the National Gendarmerie elements. A suspicious vehicle was stopped and subjected to a thorough security search, leading to the discovery of a large quantity of narcotics hidden inside. The seized cannabis was estimated to be 22kg, and the vehicle's owner was taken into custody.
Further investigation into the case led to the identification and arrest of a second suspect. The operation also resulted in the seizure of two tourist vehicles, several mobile phones, and significant amounts of money generated from this criminal activity. The authorities have confiscated these assets as part of their efforts to disrupt the network's operations.
The dismantling of this crime network is a significant blow to the illicit narcotics trade in the region.

This operation demonstrates their commitment to tackling this issue.
The two suspects are expected to be brought before the prosecutor's office at the Wadi Arhiou court after completing all necessary legal procedures. The authorities will present their case, and the suspects will face charges related to their involvement in the narcotics trade.
