ARREST OF SUSPECTS, RECOVERY OF STOLEN GOODS 

In response to the rise in violent robbery incidents and the resulting deaths of innocent people in the Endebess area and its surrounding areas, detectives from the Criminal Intelligence Investigations Bureau (CRIB) and Operations Unit at the DCI Headquarters, along with DCI officers from Endebess Police Station, conducted an intelligence-led operation which led to the recovery of suspected stolen motorcycles and the arrest of two suspects.

Sammy Mwangi Muriithi and Denis Wanjala Simiyu were apprehended when law enforcement officers raided their garage, Ex-Japan Spares, located in the Veterinary area of Kitale town. Intelligence had revealed that motorcycles from victims of violent robberies and murders were taken to the garage, disassembled, and then sold as spare parts to unsuspecting buyers.

The suspects are currently in custody, undergoing processing before their arraignment while the ownership of the recovered items is being verified.

About

The establishment, development and growth of Criminal Investigations Department can be traced to the evolvement of the Kenya Police to which it remains one of the key formations. The first police officers were recruited in 1887 by the Imperial British East Africa Company, I.B.E.A. to provide security for stores in Mombasa. It was from these humble beginnings that the Kenya Police was born.
