Customs officers intercepted two Senegalese women arriving from Paris in the Arrivals zone of Blaise Diagne International Airport around 12:30 on 18 October 2025.[1] Customs said the two travellers were acting as couriers for a criminal network operating on the Paris-Dakar route.[2] Officers ran a controlled delivery with the OCRTIS anti-drug office to the Liberté 3 neighbourhood in Dakar and arrested two other suspected members of the same network.[3] The four detainees were referred to the Mbour prosecutor for further judicial proceedings.[3]

Officers of the airport Tourism Brigade seized 120 packets of hashish weighing 11.8 kilograms from the women’s suitcases.[2] The resin was concealed inside Nesquik cocoa-powder pots packed in their luggage and was found during a routine baggage check.[2] The operation was carried out by the Tourism Brigade under the AIBD Customs Subdivision.[2]

The same unit had seized 59 packets weighing 32.686 kg on 2 October 2025, less than three weeks earlier.[1]
