Three suspects were arrested yesterday in Kibra, in connection with the spate of robberies targeting motorists, that have rocked the Southern by-pass in the recent past.
Their arrest followed detailed analysis and investigations of the robberies, with detectives employing
cyber & forensic analysis techniques, to identify the beneficiaries of the crimes. As a result, Boniface Winjira Unganyi, the proprietor of Basement Crew mobile shop within Lindi in Kibra, was arrested as the key suspect.
Detectives established that mobile phones robbed from victims along the busy highway, found their way to the suspect’s shop, where they were being sold cheaply to locals. In a raid conducted by sleuths from Langata Police Station,
a total of 102 mobile phones suspected to have been stolen, were recovered from the suspect’s shop. Also arrested during the raid were 35-year-old Alex Mboya, who was found in possession of a victim’s phone, and a 16-year-old minor studying at a secondary school in Langata.
Determined to bring to an end the robberies that have seen tens of victims lose their valuables along the highway, detectives based at Langata, supported by Crime Research & Intelligence crime busters, have in recent weeks arraigned over five suspects in court
in connection with the violent robberies. Should you have any information that may assist us in arresting more suspects regarding this case, kindly #FichuaKwaDCI through 0800722203! USIOGOPE!
