NOTORIOUS PHONE SNATCHER NABBED IN BOMET

Detectives from Bomet Central have finally put the handcuffs on a notorious phone snatcher who had turned the streets into his personal hunting grounds.

Thanks to a tip-off, the long arm of the law caught up with 29-year-old Jackson Mahono, recovering stolen mobile phones from his possession.

The recovery included Vivo, Infinix, Samsung, Tecno, and Nokia smartphones, snatched from innocent members of the public in Kehancha, Migori, and Bomet.

Preliminary investigations reveal that Mahono was planning to flash the gadgets before selling them off to unsuspecting buyers in Migori.

Currently, the suspect is behind bars, undergoing processing before being arraigned, while the recovered phones await forensic analysis to help reunite them with their rightful owners.

Through intelligence-led operations, forensic analysis, and close collaboration with members of the public, the DCI remains relentless in its war against mobile phone theft and all forms of street crime that rob hardworking Kenyans of their hard-earned property.

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.
