Police have arrested two suspected bandits and recovered a firearm in Mukutani, Baringo County, as the ongoing security operation intensifies in the North Rift region.
Baringo County Police Commandant Julius Kiragu revealed that the pair was arrested on Tuesday morning by security officers who have been on their radar for some time. The officers were assisted by some members of the public.
Kiragu noted that the duo were also suspected of being motorbike thieves.
He said the culprits usually trade stolen motorbikes in Isiolo and Meru counties to buy ammunition which they supply to bandits in Baringo.
Baringo County Commissioner Steven Kutwa also expressed optimism that the issue of insecurity will be a thing of the past very soon since they are narrowing down to the chief perpetrators.
