A middle-aged man who is connected to a syndicate that steals cell phones is being detained by police in Kericho.
The suspect was taken into custody at the Duka Moja estate, which is located outside of Kericho town and close to the Brooke Trading Center, according to detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Police stated, “The suspect was arrested following a tip off from members of the public.”
During the raid, at least 130 cell phones were found, according to the authorities.
“Other electronic items believed to have been stolen from various parts of the county were also recovered from the suspect,” the police added.
The suspect, according to the police, is a member of the gang that has been terrorizing the people of Kericho town.
This week, the phones will be on display at the Kericho police station so that the general public may identify them.
