Guinaw-Rails South: Plumber arrested with ecstasy and MDA

A 25-year-old man identified as D. Mendy was arrested on November 10, 2026, by officers from the Guinaw-Rails district police station. He is suspected of offering and distributing synthetic drugs. The arrest took place around 5:00 p.m. during a drug patrol on foot near the bridge close to the Guinaw-Rails South town hall.

According to information gathered, police officers spotted the individual who displayed suspicious characteristics. A search followed by a pat-down revealed he was in possession of three ecstasy tablets and two MDA balls, for a total weight of 2.5 grams.

When questioned about the origin of the drugs, D. Mendy reportedly stated that he acquired them in the Niayes area of Yoff from a man named Ousmane, about whom he provided no further information. He explained that he paid 20,000 CFA francs for 2 grams of MDA and 2,000 CFA francs per ecstasy tablet. He then allegedly divided the MDA into two balls, which he intended to resell at 15,000 CFA francs each. The three ecstasy tablets, however, were reportedly for his personal use.

Following his arrest, the suspect was taken into custody for the alleged offenses of offering and supplying synthetic drugs. The seized products were placed under seal, pending their deposit with the clerk of the Pikine-Guédiawaye High Court.

The public prosecutor's office has been informed of the case and an investigation has been opened to shed light on the ramifications of this trafficking and to identify the supplier mentioned by D. Mendy.
