Police officers in Kasarani Sub-County have arrested seven individuals suspected of involvement in a series of phone-snatching incidents within Kasarani and its neighbouring areas in Nairobi.
The arrests followed a targeted security operation conducted in several areas identified as crime hotspots, including Hunters, Garage, Maji Mazuri, Clay City, Red Soil and Gituamba.
During the operation, officers also recovered two motorcycles believed to have been used by the suspects to facilitate the alleged criminal activities.
According to police, the operation was aimed at tackling rising cases of phone snatching and enhancing security within the affected neighbourhoods.
The seven suspects were subsequently escorted to Kasarani Police Station, where they remain in custody pending police processing and arraignment in court.
The arrests come amid continued efforts by security agencies to curb street crime and improve public safety across Nairobi.
