While the culprits are still on the run, since Saturday’s attack at the RIU Baobab hotel, a reinforced security system has been put in place by the Senegalese gendarmerie to restore “ serenity » among hotel reception customers.
Four days after the armed attack perpetrated at the RIU Baobab hotel, located in Mbour, on the Petite-Côte, the establishment has resumed normal operation. Saturday evening, attackers, armed with hunting rifles, sowed terror on the site, taking 12 million CFA francs in their flight, despite exchanges of fire with the gendarmerie. The culprits are still at large.
Since the attack, a reinforced security system has been put in place by the gendarmerie, which aims to “ restore security and peace of mind for customers “. However, the police have still not succeeded in arresting the criminals.
« The immediate searches carried out in the area did not make it possible to discover the criminals », Specified the gendarmerie in a press release received by APA, adding that the investigation is underway to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of the theft.
-According to the daily L’Observateur, a “ boss with a very heavy criminal past » is now in the crosshairs of investigators. The latter, specialized in burglaries and armed with a sophisticated arsenal, would have terrorized the Petite-Côte region and its surroundings, indicates the newspaper, adding that suspects “ have recently been released from prison ».
