Based on this information, a surveillance operation was deployed by the Joal Fadiouth and Nianing brigades, supported by the Mbour Research Brigade, between Joal and Olstom beach. The operation took place on September 11, 2026.

A seizure of 375 kg of Indian hemp
In total, twelve (12) packages of Indian hemp, for a total weight of three hundred and seventy-five (375) kilograms, were recovered by the gendarmes following the escape of the convoys.
