Gachagi, Madharau, Kiandutu and Phase 5 in Makongeni in Thika Sub-County have been identified as crime hotspots in Thika Town.
This is due to the emergence of petty crimes, muggings and violent crimes in these areas.
Gachagi, Kasarani and Kiandutu have also been identified as notorious illegal brew dens that serve as the supply sources to other regions in Thika Town.
This was revealed at the Thika Sub-County Stadium by the area Deputy County Commissioner Jeremiah Gicheru during the Mashujaa Day celebrations on Tuesday.
He said that his administration and the security team in the area would not relax until they contained these two vices in the area since they were detrimental to providing a peaceful, conducive living and working environment.
Gicheru cited various business persons and criminal elements in the region who were notorious for the sale of illegal brews and drugs.
Calling some of them by their names, the DCC told the public that his office would do everything possible to ensure these criminals close business and be behind bars for their crimes.
He pleaded with Thika residents to embrace the 'Nyumba Kumi' initiative and community policing by working with the authorities to stop crime.
Through his message that called on everyone to take personal responsibility to fight the vices in the society, Gicheru warned them that failure to report crime only worked to their own disadvantage.
