CRACKDOWN ON CRIMINAL GANGS

DCI News / Fri, 05/01/2026 - 10:10

Nine suspected members of a notorious criminal gang have been arrested in a decisive, intelligence-led operation targeting criminal groups in Trans Nzoia West Sub-County.

The operation, carried out by a joint team of officers from DCI Headquarters and Kitale Police Station, zeroed in on Premium and Tuwani areas, hotspots that have recently been plagued by gang activity.

Acting swiftly on credible intelligence, the officers swooped in and netted the nine suspects, effectively dismantling a group that has been terrorising residents and disrupting public order.

The suspects are currently in custody undergoing processing as they await arraignment.

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.
