Police stopped three commercial vehicles with forged plates in the countryside outside Essaouira and found 11,755 kilograms of cannabis. The drivers ran off, leaving the drugs and ten false plates; a parallel search at Sidi Kaouki turned up another vehicle. The operation was run by the DGSN with the DGST, local authorities and the royal gendarmerie. It was one of several large interdictions reported in 2026.[1]
