Five people are in police custody after a late-night operation in Kajiado exposed a stash of stolen government property.
According to officers from Ongata Rongai Police Station, the chain of arrests began during a routine patrol when two men were spotted loitering suspiciously near the PEFA church. Upon stopping them, a quick search revealed a pair of handcuffs concealed in one suspect’s jacket.
One of the men tried to flee but was cornered after a short chase. The duo later told police they had acquired the items from another individual whose whereabouts remain unknown.
The suspects then guided the officers to the Kware area, where a search of a premises uncovered four spent cartridges and a police baton. Three more individuals were arrested at the scene, raising the total number of suspects to five.
