The Korofina Nord police commissariat, led by Commissioner Seydou KEITA, has arrested four individuals suspected of involvement in burglary, receiving stolen goods, and narcotics possession. The arrests were made on November 2, 2026, following a complaint filed by a local merchant whose store was burglarized. An investigation by the Brigade de recherches led to the apprehension of the first suspect, M.C., 24.

Further investigations identified three additional suspects: B.F., 21, L.K., 19, and B.N., 20. All four individuals were taken into custody. Authorities conducted searches and seized a stolen motorcycle, eleven Tramadol 250 mg tablets, and a complete Djakarta motorcycle facade.
