Thika town police boss Erastus Muthamia has cautioned the youth idling around the main stage during the day and even at night.
The OCPD said that the business people from the area have been calling him and raising concerns over the increased number of youths who spend most of their time at the main stage, causing a security threat to Thika residents.
Speaking during a press briefing in Thika town on Thursday, Muthamia said that youths idling during the day are likely to be the criminals who attack the area residents at night, incidences he says are on the rise in the area.
He added that he is sure that if security officers deal with the idlers, the problem of night attacks near Thika stage will be a thing of the past.
Muthamia said he has ordered all the security officers to apprehend anybody caught idling in the area.
He added that he is on the forefront to enhance security in the area and urged the public to work hand in hand with the security team to ensure the suspected culprits are arrested.
