Arrest of Criminal Network Specializing in Fraud and Scams in Temara

Police elements from the regional security area in Temara, in coordination with their counterparts in Rabat, have arrested three individuals, including two women, on suspicion of their involvement in a criminal network engaged in fraud and scams. This operation was based on precise information provided by the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance.

This network employs a criminal method that exposes victims to fraud through a technique known as “samaoui,” which leads to the theft of their personal belongings. Initial investigations resulted in identifying one of the suspects, who was arrested and subjected to judicial inquiry.

Investigations continued and led to the arrest of three additional accomplices near a cemetery along the coastal strip in Rabat, where they were caught red-handed in possession of a prayer bead, a watch, and jewelry suspected to be used to facilitate these criminal activities, along with a sum of money obtained from these acts.

A check of the suspects against the national police database revealed that two of them are wanted under national arrest warrants issued by the judicial police in the cities of Temara, Rabat, and Tikiouine for suspected involvement in similar cases.

The suspects have been placed under police custody pending the judicial investigation overseen by the competent public prosecutor’s office, aimed at uncovering all circumstances and details surrounding this case.
