In a daring operation, the gendarmes of the Taïf Proximity Brigade recently put an end to the activities of an Indian hemp trafficking network based in the village of Diguine Peulh, in the commune of Mbacké. A young woman, NB, was arrested after selling drugs to an undercover gendarme, while her husband managed to flee.
A well-designed investigation
The operation, led by Commander Mbaye, was the result of a careful investigation. According to L’Observateur, the gendarmes received information about an active Indian hemp trafficking network managed by a couple. After analyzing this information, the police decided to pose as potential customers in order to trap the traffickers.
The Interpellation
Equipped with these elements, the gendarmes decided to take action. On Tuesday morning, they carried out a surprise raid on NB’s home and arrested her while she was in possession of eight cones of Indian hemp. Her husband, meanwhile, managed to escape, complicating authorities’ efforts to completely dismantle the network.
Questioned about the facts, the young woman quickly admitted her involvement, although she tried to exonerate her husband, who remains nowhere to be found. Faced with a history of trafficking, NB was indicted for offering and selling Indian hemp. She was referred to the Diourbel public prosecutor’s office, while the gendarmes intensify their search to find her husband and put an end to this trafficking network.
