A notorious thug suspected to be the ringleader of a gang that has been terrorizing city residents has been arrested by detectives based at the DCI Nairobi regional command.
Luis Otieno alias Lui Borura Nyaoiri was arrested following a spate of housebreakings and burglaries reported within Kayole Sub-County, where victims have lost valuables worth thousands of shillings.
The thug was arrested while driving a Mazda Demio registration number KDM 790K that had earlier on been fitted with a different number KDD 790K. He led the officers to his house where upon search, assorted wrist watches, an antique guns frame wall hanging, mobile phones, tablets, flash disks, earpods, earphones, nine (9) rolls of substance suspected to be psychotropic substance among other items were recovered.
Otieno is a known criminal who has been arrested several times in the past for similar offenses. He is currently being held at the Kayole Police Station pending arraignment in court.
The arrest of Otieno is a major breakthrough in the fight against crime in Nairobi. It is hoped that his arrest will send a strong message to other criminals that they will not be tolerated.
The DCI has urged members of the public to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activities to the police.
