The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has arrested two suspects, a man and his girlfriend, believed to be the masterminds behind a series of heists in the Mombasa and Mariakani areas.

DCI in a statement on Thursday, August 8, stated that the duo is suspected of involvement in multiple robberies, including a violent incident that led to a fatality on July 18, 2024.

“Two infamous suspects, Harun Kariuki, 33, and his alleged accomplice and girlfriend, Christine Nyakio Kinyua, 20, have been apprehended by a crack team of officers from DCI Kaloleni and Mariakani police station,” DCI said in statement.

The suspects are also linked to a separate abduction and robbery on July 24, 2024, as well as a shooting incident that occurred on July 17, 2024.

DCI Details How the Suspects were Arrested

According to the DCI, the suspects were arrested after a relentless pursuit, during which officers successfully tracked them down at their hideout in Samburu township.

A thorough search of the suspects’ residence led to the discovery of a trove of stolen goods, including nine assorted mobile phones, three hard disks, a 24-inch Aucma TV, and two generators.

Additionally, the officers recovered a laptop, a laminated motorcycle registration number plate (KMGB 786D), and a helmet bearing registration number KMFX 866Q.

The suspects are currently in custody, awaiting further legal proceedings, while the recovered items have been preserved as crucial exhibits.

The DCI has also issued a warning to the public, urging individuals to refrain from engaging in criminal activities, as such actions will be met with the full force of the law. 

Recently, there has been a noticeable rise in the arrest of criminal gangs across the country, particularly in Mombasa County.

Rise in Criminal Activities

On July 25, detectives from the DCI announced the arrest of three individuals believed to be the masterminds behind a recent surge in criminal activities in Mombasa.

The DCI revealed that detectives from Mombasa Urban acted on reliable intelligence, leading to the execution of a strategic ambush in Nyali estate on Links Road.

The operation successfully led to the capture of two primary suspects identified as Ali Ahmad Ali, also known as “Mkali,” and Abdulrahman Arafat.

“In response to a surge in criminal activities in Mombasa town and its vicinity, detectives from Mombasa Urban have made significant progress by arresting three key suspects believed to be the masterminds behind the crime wave,” read the statement in part. 

“Acting on intelligence, detectives orchestrated an ambush in Nyali estate on Links Road, resulting in the swift apprehension of two suspects, Ali Ahmad Ali, known by the alias “Mkali,” and Abdulrahman Arafat.”
