Police Capture Suspect in Targeted Attacks on Drivers In a rather alarming incident in Sale, Moroccan police arrested a 31-year-old man early Friday morning, who is known for his troubling history of theft and drug offenses. This arrest comes after a series of violent assaults specifically aimed at ride-hailing drivers, raising serious concerns about the safety of transportation workers in the region. Authorities believe the suspect, along with an accomplice, targeted VTC drivers using a premeditated approach that detailed planning.

Investigations Underway as Police Continue Their Pursuit

Riders in Crisis as Thieves Strike in Sale According to police reports, the duo reportedly used a mobile app to book rides in Sidi Bouknadel, a rural area adjacent to Sale. This wasn’t just a random act of violence; they had a methodical plan—one suspect would lure the driver, while the other would exert control by threatening the victim with violence. Unfortunately, the scheme turned chaotic when they stole the vehicle and crashed it into several parked cars before fleeing on foot as authorities closed in on them, showcasing a troubling escalation in their criminal behavior. Police managed to apprehend one of the men shortly thereafter, in a significant breakthrough in what appears to be a string of violent crimes against the VTC community.

Authorities Persist in Quest to Ensure Public Safety

Second Suspect Still at Large Following Incident In yet another attempt on the same night, the perpetrators ordered another ride, following the very same strategy. This time the assault escalated with one suspect allegedly brandishing a bladed weapon against the driver. After successfully stealing the car and some cash, they once again found themselves in trouble as police intervention eventually led to one suspect being clearly intoxicated and captured. Stolen vehicles and weapons believed to have been used during these attacks were recovered shortly after the arrest. Now, the focus has turned to apprehending the second suspect, who authorities have already identified, as the investigation proceeds under the scrutiny of the public prosecutor’s office.

In summary, the Sale police’s timely action resulted in the arrest of a repeat offender who posed a serious threat to VTC drivers in the area. While law enforcement managed to recover stolen vehicles and weapons, the hunt continues for the second suspect involved in the violent assaults. Safety measures need to be heightened to protect ride-hailing drivers as authorities urge the community to remain vigilant.
