Dozens of car keys were seized from a suspected car thief in the Village neighborhood of Douala, by an anti-crime unit at the GMI 2.
These are keys he used to force-start vehicles poorly stationed or parked at unsecured places.
‘He has been in this criminal activity for a long time. Stealing of vehicles not well parked and found at unsecured places. He used Toyota keys to start the Toyota vehicle and where the key did not correspond with the mark of the vehicle, he forced it to start. That is how your vehicle disappears.’ Head of the anti-crime unit of the GMI 2, Awa Christian, said.
The suspected car thief fell into the dragnet of the security forces following a complaint deposited at the GMI 2 by a mechanic about a stolen Toyota vehicle at his garage in the Village neighborhood on February 28, 2024.
‘That fateful day while at the garage, a customer brought his vehicle for me to resolve a mechanical problem. Since I was exhausted I couldn’t do it that evening and decided to do it the next day. Upon my a
rrival at the garage, I could not find the car. Since then I never had peace of mind. I decided to file a complaint. Narrated the mechanic.
The suspect was whisked to the Judicial police to answer charges.

Tunis: Feminist activists organised a women’s march in Tunis on Friday from Bab El Khadra Square to Habib Bourguiba Avenue in support of Palestinian women on the occasion of International Women’s Day.
“We stand in solidarity with Palestinian women who have suffered greatly since the Zionist occupation of Palestine. The recent brutal Zionist aggression has exacerbated the dire situation of the Palestinians, with constant bombardment and severe crises in access to food and basic necessities,” the demonstrators said.
During the march, women chanted slogans calling for feminist resistance in solidarity with the Palestinian people and against the occupation. These slogans included “Free Palestine, Zionist out”, “No compromise, no negotiations”, “United women against all backsliding” and “Boycott, boycott, resist, resist”.
This march comes in response to the call for a global strike for Gaza to protest against the ongoing genocide by the Zionist occupation.
President of the Tunisian Association of Democratic Wo
men, Neila Zoghlami, was among the demonstrators expressing solidarity with Palestinian women, saying that this march was “the least the Tunisian people can do to support the Palestinian cause and break the wall of silence”.
According to the latest UN figures, nearly 9,000 Palestinian women have been killed since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza on 7 October, with many more buried under the rubble.
Up to 95% of pregnant and lactating women face severe malnutrition and over 690,000 women and girls who are menstruating have limited access to menstrual hygiene products, while around 37 mothers are killed every day.
