Detectives from the Banking Fraud Investigations Unit (BFIU) and officers from Nakuru Police Station have apprehended 14 suspects linked to a string of cybercrime activities in Nakuru.

The raid unfolded in the Pangani area of Nakuru township, where the suspects were found in a room in the midst of their illicit online scamming operations.

Authorities seized a trove of evidence, including 25 mobile phones, 16 SIM card plates, and 10 SIM cards, all tools of their nefarious trade.

Investigations revealed that the suspects had created fake websites, including Zain Coach, Harmain Coach, and Habesh Coach, which they use to scam unsuspecting travellers into a trap. With the allure of easy online bus ticket purchases, many were left devastated, their hard-earned cash disappearing without a trace.

The 14 suspects now find themselves behind bars, undergoing processing pending arraignment. Meanwhile, the seized items have been secured as exhibits in the ongoing investigation.

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.
