Thiès : Comment un faux client a réussi à voler une Peugeot 3008 de 12 millions F CFA
A car dealer based in Thiès was the victim of a rather audacious theft. Malick had a brand new Peugeot 3008 stolen, which was still without a license plate, on Monday, August 31, 2026, at around 11 a.m.
According to witness statements, the suspect approached the seller's parking lot, posing as a potential customer. After choosing the Peugeot 3008, he began negotiations with Malick. The two men eventually agreed on a price of 12 million CFA francs.
But before proceeding with the payment, the supposed buyer asked to take the car for a test drive of several kilometers. Accompanied by the seller, he drove the vehicle to the Thiès industrial park. Once there, the fake customer parked the car and told Malick that he was, in fact, interested in buying it. He then asked Malick to get out so he could drive back to the parking lot while he went to get the money to finalize the purchase.
That's when everything changed. As soon as the seller got out of the vehicle, the suspect sped off. Malick even tried to stop the vehicle by gripping the steering wheel, but to no avail.
A complaint has been filed with the relevant authorities. The search is ongoing for the suspect and the Peugeot 3008.
