The police boss has formed a crack squad and opened a patrol base at Gakoromone market to track the suspects who carried out the criminal activities even in broad daylight.

Sub-county director of criminal investigations Jamlick Kithinji said most of the thefts occurred in Meru town, Gitimbine, Makutano and Gakoromone areas.

He expressed concern that those engaged in the activities were between 18 and 20 years and warned that police would deal firmly with them.

“I warn the boys to go back to school before we catch up with them. We will deal with them firmly, and not handle them with kid gloves.

“I also ask parents to guide their children so that they do not engage in criminal activities. We are going to nab everyone involved in the syndicate,” warned Mr Kithinji.
