A security operation in Kisumu has led to the arrest of two suspected criminal gang members, and the recovery of items believed to be linked to criminal activities.
The operation, mounted by detectives from the DCI Operations Support Unit (OSU), the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU), and the GSU Tactical Team, was carried out following credible intelligence pointing to the suspectsβ criminal activities.
The team moved swiftly, leading to the arrest of Joseph Mwata Magak alias βBoyi Sampaβ and Isaac Omondi Ojwangβ.
A subsequent search of Magakβs rented house in Mamboleo Pocho Estate, Kisumu, opened a Pandoraβs box, as detectives uncovered a cache of items concealed in the master bedroom.
Among the items recovered were a homemade firearm, a bow and four arrows, a panga, a toy gun, five rolls of cannabis sativa, a police siren, a pair of police boots, six pairs of jungle-green tactical trousers, a camouflage jacket and a pair of tactical boots.
Detectives also recovered a bottle of gun oil, a Kenyan flag, a Subaru front bumper, among other items.
Further investigations have established that Joseph Mwata Magak has an ongoing case of attempted robbery with violence before the Nakuru Law Courts.
The suspects remain in custody undergoing processing pending arraignment, while the recovered items have been secured as exhibits.
The DCI commends members of the public who continue to provide timely and actionable intelligence, which remains a critical weapon in the fight against organised crime and in keeping communities safe.
