A well-coordinated intelligence operation in Nairobi's bustling Central Business District has led to the dismantling of a phone theft syndicate that has been terrorising city dwellers.
The sting, executed by officers from Central Police Station, followed weeks of surveillance and tip-offs from the public.
Acting on actionable intelligence, police tracked a prime suspect engaged in tampering with phone IMEI numbers, a tactic commonly used to erase ownership traces and evade tracking.
He was caught red-handed, marking a breakthrough in the investigation.
