Vols à l’arraché : Un agresseur arrêté à Grand-Yoff avec cinq téléphones volés
The Grand-Yoff district police station arrested a suspected snatch thief who was terrorizing several neighborhoods of Dakar on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, during a surveillance operation conducted by the research brigade.
Around 6:30 p.m., police officers spotted a man on a Sport City motorcycle in the Captage area, near the Makhtar Diaw pharmacy. His suspicious behavior, as he parked in front of the pharmacy with a shoulder bag, drew their attention. Upon checking, the officers discovered five cell phones in his possession.
During questioning, the suspect was unable to provide the unlock codes for the devices. It was then that an incoming call on one of the phones led to the identification of the first victim. She explained that she had been attacked earlier at the Massalikul Djinani mosque roundabout by an individual on a motorcycle who had violently snatched her iPhone 16 Pro Max while she was on a call.
Confronted by the evidence, the suspect admitted the facts and confessed to having committed several similar robberies in different parts of the capital, including Almadies, Ngor, Ouakam and HLM 5.
He was taken into custody at the Grand-Yoff police station. The investigation is ongoing to find any other possible victims and accomplices.
