Camouflée sous une burka pour cambrioler son amie : La voleuse au double des clés arrêtée à la Médina
The Medina district police station has put an end to the activities of a suspected burglar. Arrested on September 9, 2026, the suspect is believed to have committed a series of break-ins in an apartment using a duplicate key made without the resident's knowledge.
The case dates back to September 1st, following a complaint filed against persons unknown by a resident of the neighborhood. According to investigators' findings, the complainant's home had been the target of multiple break-ins during the months of January, July, and September.
The total loss includes the theft of gold jewelry, wigs, perfumes, two handbags, a Diezner-type fabric coupon, and a sum of 80,000 CFA francs.
Identified by surveillance cameras despite wearing a veil
Faced with the recurring nature of the incidents, the victim contacted the landlord and the building's caretaker to request access to the CCTV footage. Reviewing the tapes revealed a well-rehearsed modus operandi : the suspect would gain entry to the building and the apartment using specially designed keys, while carefully concealing her face with a grey burka and a face mask.
However, careful analysis of the footage revealed a brief moment when the woman removed her veil and mask. The images clearly identified her as an acquaintance of the victim, residing in Keur Massar.
Police officers from the Medina Research Brigade deployed to the El Hadji Pathé neighborhood in Keur Massar, where they arrested the suspect. During questioning at the police station, she confessed, admitting that she had taken advantage of a moment of inattention from her victim to have her keys duplicated.
At the end of her custody, the accused was brought before the prosecutor of the High Court of Dakar.
