Thursday, July 23, 2026 - Police officers from Kasarani Police Station and Githurai 44 Police Post have arrested two suspected phone snatchers believed to be part of an organised motorcycle-riding syndicate operating within Nairobi.

According to the National Police Service (NPS), the suspects were arrested on July 22 following intelligence-led operations and public tip-offs.

The officers intercepted the duo in the Kamiti Road and Naivas areas within Kasarani Sub-County.

A thorough search of the suspects led to the recovery of five assorted mobile phones believed to have been stolen from members of the public.

The suspects have since been placed in police custody pending their arraignment in court, while the recovered mobile phones have been secured as exhibits.

The National Police Service reiterated its commitment to dismantling criminal networks across the country and urged members of the public to continue reporting suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
