The Moroccan police have dismantled a clandestine migration operation in the city of Oujda, in the north of the country, which has resulted in the arrest of three Sudanese who were allegedly trying to smuggle migrants into Melilla.

The operation took place last Saturday morning, according to a statement from the General Directorate of Surveillance of the National Territory picked up by the news portal NadorCity.

According to the statement, the three detainees were preparing at least 105 migrants, hidden in several houses of the organization, to be introduced in Melilla «by means of an escalation and assault».

The Moroccan Police have seized «a series of tools» to facilitate the jumping of the Melilla fence, as well as electronic devices, passports and other identification documents.
