The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has issued a strong warning to criminal elements exploiting the nationwide anti-government demonstrations as cover for committing crimes. In a statement released on Tuesday, the DCI shared several videos demonstrating brazen daylight robberies, emphasizing the involvement of armed criminal gangs in these acts.
“DCI teams have been dispatched to pursue gang members recorded by concerned citizens violently robbing innocent Kenyans on the roads, while taking advantage of the ongoing demonstrations,” said the DCI.
The DCI further noted that detectives have been deployed to rein in the criminal gangs, promising legal retribution for any culprits apprehended.
“Anyone involved in the criminal activities, are reminded that it is just a matter of time before the long arm of the law catches up with them, and that their felonious acts shall be met with the full force of the law.”
