The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has announced the arrest of 51 more suspects linked to the notorious Panga Boys gang operating in the Kwale and Mombasa counties.
In a statement on Tuesday, DCI reported that the 51 were arrested during the ongoing crackdown being carried out in the coastal region after public uproar from business owners, politicians, and human rights organisations on the concerning rise in criminal gangs.
The latest arrests were made in the neighbourhoods of Corner Ya Kisauni, Jocham Hospital, Barisheba, Sunlight, Mwandoni, Junda, Cobra, and Kadongo Grounds in Kisauni Subcounty.
During the arrest, five tuk-tuks suspected of having been used in the snatching of phones were also confiscated.
