Insécurité à HLM Grand Yoff : Trois agresseurs arrêtés au terminus de Dakar Dem Dikk
The Dakar Dem Dikk (DDD) bus terminal, located in the HLM Grand Yoff district, has been the scene of a series of particularly audacious attacks in recent days. The perpetrators specifically targeted travelers departing for Blaise Diagne International Airport (AIBD), taking advantage of the crowds and the vulnerability of passengers carrying luggage.
Alerted by the recurring nature of these criminal acts, the Grand Yoff District Police Station responded by deploying plainclothes and uniformed officers to the area. On Friday, December 19, 2025, a targeted patrol at the bus terminal yielded results, allowing detectives to apprehend three individuals in the act. They are now being prosecuted for conspiracy and attempted armed robbery committed at night.
According to information provided by the police, the criminal group consisted of about ten individuals. The gang had broken into the garage twice, using a well-rehearsed method to steal cell phones and luggage from travelers. One passenger even testified that he physically confronted the assailants to protect his wife and prevent the theft of her handbag during one of these break-ins.
During their questioning at the police station, the suspects attempted to justify their presence at the scene with explanations deemed inconsistent by investigators. They claimed to be simply passing through on their way back to their homes in Grand Yoff. However, identity checks revealed that their respective residences are located in Grand Médine, an area geographically opposite to the sector where the assaults took place.
The three individuals were taken into custody pending their appearance before the prosecutor. The investigation is actively continuing to identify and apprehend the other members of the gang who are still at large, in order to ensure the long-term security of this crucial crossing point for international travelers.
