Police in Nairobi and Thika have recovered 57 stolen phones during operations targeting a suspected network involved in phone snatching. Five individuals were arrested as part of the crackdown on illegal electronics trade. The operation focused on dismantling a network believed to be responsible for stealing and reselling mobile devices. Authorities said the phones were seized from multiple locations across the two cities. The arrested individuals are currently in police custody for further investigation. The operation was part of broader efforts to combat cybercrime and illegal trade in stolen technology. Local police have warned that such activities undermine public trust in digital security. The recovered devices will be handed over to relevant authorities for verification and legal processing. This follows recent reports of increased thefts in urban areas, prompting authorities to intensify surveillance and enforcement.
