Kisumu police have arrested two individuals in connection with an alleged phone-hacking syndicate, according to the National Police Service (NPS). The operation, conducted on Friday, involved a raid on a shop in the city centre, where officers recovered a substantial amount of electronic devices and accessories suspected of being proceeds of crime.
The items, including laptops, mobile phones, and phone accessories, have been secured for forensic analysis. The NPS stated that the suspects are currently in custody at Kisumu Central Police Station, awaiting arraignment. The arrest is part of a broader effort by the police to disrupt criminal networks involved in the handling of stolen mobile phones.
The recovered electronics are being further examined to determine their origin and potential links to reported thefts or other criminal activity. The NPS encourages the public to report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station or through emergency services.
