".This gang, made up of six individuals, all of foreign nationality, including one on the run, was apprehended on May 18, 2012 around 1 p.m. in a hotel in the capital by the Ouagadougou Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC).The commander of the BAC, Patrice Yéyé, pointed out that the latter were arrested thanks to a phone call from a trustworthy person who wished to remain anonymous.The commander of the BAC gave the story of the modus operandi of this band.It appears that the band operated in the UEMOA space and when it arrived in a country, it was accommodated in a hotel located in the city center near major commercial stores.Before taking action, one or two members of the group criss-cross the streets of the city in question to locate boutiques and other high-end businesses.Once this is done, the band goes there in a taxi expressly hired for the occasion.On the spot, two women from the gang divert the attention of the manager or the saleswomen by pretending to be interested in a luxury item which is generally a latest model laptop computer or luxury loincloths.Meanwhile, the other members of the group, richly dressed, roam the shelves, stealing the articles of their choice which they conceal in bags attached to their hips under their accoutrements.After their fixed price, those -, by gestures, make understand with the supposed customers always in discussion with the manager to return very soon for the effective purchase of the chosen article.After that, they join the taxi parked a few meters from the scene of the offense, which drives off and takes them back to the hotel.Patrice Yéyé adds that it is generally in the evening that the managers of the shops visited note losses after inventory.He adds that from one shop to another, this band multiplied the victims through the city until the end of their stay before joining other localities of the sub - region for the flow of part of their loot.As for the other part of the loot, it is sold on the spot to settle the hotel and catering costs.This criminal gang was mainly made up of women, one of whom was holding a two-year-old baby at the time of her arrest.There is also a rasta musician.The drugs were resold mainly to pupils and studentsThe second case of the press briefing related to the dismantling of a network of drug traffickers operating in the Ouaga 2000 area. This network, made up of two people of Burkinabe nationality, was apprehended on May 24, 2012. The supplier, of the name of HB and aged 29, is domiciled in sector 30 of Ouagadougou.As for his sidekick called JK, 41 years old, he is a commercial employee, father of two children and domiciled in Larlé.This gang would get the drugs from a neighboring country.She then packaged it in small joints which are sold for between 100 and 200 FCFA per joint.Their clients were mainly young pupils and students residing in the above-mentioned area.This operation made it possible to seize 512 balls of Indian hemp, estimated at approximately 7 kilograms.The commander of the BAC, Patrice Yéyé reported that during his arrest, the named HB, the supplier, tried to corrupt the elements of the BAC with a sum of 100,000 CFA francs which was seized and put under seal. .Patrice Yéyé confided that all the people arrested and the objects seized will be presented to the prosecutor of Faso at the High Court of Ouagadougou for all useful purposes.The commander of the BAC urged the population to collaborate more with the police in order, he said, to dismantle the networks of criminals in the capital.3 Toshiba brand laptops, 11 Wax loincloths, 19 bazin loincloths, 3 Samsung brand mobile phones, 7 phone chips, 3 handbags containing various objects, 1 bottle of Johnnie Walker, 2 boxes of mayonnaise, 1 packet of diapers for baby, And a sum of 21,000 F CFASource: Press kitAmbèternifa Crépin SOMDA1.

On May 28, 2012 at 12:48 In response to: THEFT OF LUXURY ITEMS IN OUAGADOUGOU: A women's gang dismantledI wonder when are we going to dilute a little our too great pride of upright men?In the report, the BAC or the journalist talk about women and men from foreign countries in terms of the theft of valuables or precious objects, but when he comes to the case of the sale of Indian hemp, he specifically cites that they are two BURKINABE.I wonder if Burkina is not a country like the other countries of the first cities or is it because we are so stateless?Listen, our false modesty sometimes borders on cowardice.The other time it was in Côte d'Ivoire that it was said that the insecurity was largely due to Burkinabés mentioned by name, another time it was a Burkinabé who was cited for the case of Malian mutineers .So why do our authorities imprison us for saying that we do not name names when our compatriots and by extension our country is permanently cited by other countries for less glorious stories?15.
