Rabat- Three members of the Moroccan Auxiliary Forces have been charged with robbery and were arrested on Wednesday in Marrakech after the mobilization of ordinary citizens.
According to the daily Al Ahdath Al Maghribiya in its October 30 edition, police in Marrakech arrested on Wednesday three members of the Auxiliary Forces for robbery. People surrounded the three suspects near a supermarket in the Menara district of Marrakech. The three suspects, who work in the area near the supermarket, were waiting for an opportunity to attack customers and rob them with the threat of knives.
According to the daily, several brave citizens, who were unable to sit idly in front of such an injustice, mustered their courage and encircled and arrested the three criminals before alerting the police. Once arrested, the defendants denied outright the charges against them. However, the knives seized in their possession contradicted their claims.
Investigators were dismayed when they learned that the three alleged criminals involved in the assault and robbery of innocent citizens were actually members of the Auxiliary Forces supposed to be watching over the security of the people and their property.
