Bravo... Marrakesh security forces take decisive action and arrest thieves who stole luxury Gucci hats!

The city of Marrakech has recently seen heightened security measures following the circulation of videos documenting incidents of luxury hats and scarves being snatched from the heads of tourists and passersby in upscale neighborhoods such as Gueliz and Hay Al-Shatawi.

These crimes are carried out by thieves riding high-speed “C90” motorcycles, who take advantage of heavy traffic to escape after targeting high-value hats worn by visitors.

In response to these criminal acts, members of the Tourism Unit and the Intervention Unit of the First Security District in Gueliz launched intensive field operations.

These security operations resulted in the arrest of four individuals involved in snatch-and-grab thefts and the seizure of the motorcycles used, and their referral to the judicial police for further investigation under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, thereby restoring calm and peace to Red City Street.
