Oran law enforcement has successfully apprehended two individuals involved in drug trafficking and seized a significant quantity of cannabis. The operation, conducted by the Research and Intervention Brigade (BRI) of the Oran State Police, resulted in the confiscation of nearly 19 kilograms of processed cannabis.
The arrests and seizure followed a targeted investigation based on credible intelligence indicating that one of the suspects was storing a substantial amount of narcotics. After verifying the information, investigators identified the suspect and the location where the illicit substances were hidden.
In coordination with the Public Prosecutor at the Arzew Court, a legal search warrant was executed at the suspect’s residence. The search led to the discovery of 18 kilograms and 650 grams of processed cannabis. Authorities also recovered a motorcycle allegedly used in the distribution of the drugs. A second suspect, identified as an accomplice in the crime, was also apprehended.
This successful operation highlights the ongoing efforts of Oran’s security forces to combat drug trafficking and maintain public safety. The confiscated cannabis represents a significant blow to the local drug trade, preventing a large quantity of narcotics from reaching the streets.
Following the completion of legal procedures, the two detainees were presented before the Public Prosecutor at the Arzew Court for further investigation and prosecution. The investigation is ongoing to determine the full extent of their involvement and to identify any other individuals who may be connected to this drug trafficking network.
Authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to fighting drug-related crime and ensuring the security and well-being of the citizens of Oran. Further updates on this case will be provided as they become available.
