# Keur Massar network arrests in Senegal > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/keur-massar-network-arrests-in-senegal > Updated: 2026-07-31T18:41:31.000Z. Sources: 6. Developments: 2. In late July 2026, Senegal’s Brigade de recherches in Keur Massar began a series of arrests targeting criminal networks operating in the Dakar‑Thiès corridor. The first reported action detained two women, aged 23 and 31, on charges of association with a criminal group, computer‑based threats and other offenses. Police said the investigation originated from a personal dispute that escalated into a raid on an employer’s home and involved a well‑known social‑media personality. A few days later, the same brigade announced further arrests that broadened the scope of the crackdown. One operation uncovered a network that recruited adolescent girls for drug trafficking, sexual offenses and financial exploitation, leading to the detention of eight suspects, including a mother who admitted joining for money. In a separate but related case, a social‑media influencer was arrested for pressuring a minor to extract large sums from his father’s shop, with the proceeds used to buy a vehicle. Both investigations remain ongoing, highlighting an expanding focus on organized crime and the exploitation of minors in the Keur Massar area. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-31: Keur Massar police arrest two separate networks exploiting Senegalese minors Senegal's Keur Massar police arrested Madjiguène Ndiaye for a minor‑exploitation network and influencer Rema for pressuring a teen to steal money, highlighting two separate criminal cases. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/keur-massar-police-arrest-two-separate-networks-exploiting-senegalese-minors ### 2026-07-26: Keur Massar network investigation detains two women Two women in Keur Massar were detained after a love‑related dispute led police to a suspected network operating between Dakar and Thiès, with charges of assault, threats and illicit acts. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/keur-massar-network-investigation-detains-two-women --- Cite as: Keur Massar network arrests in Senegal.
