Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) detectives in Machakos have launched a manhunt for three burglary suspects accused of breaking into houses and stealing property.
Machakos DCIO Rhoda Kanyi on Thursday said the police have arrested one suspect who is helping with investigations.
"We managed to arrest one Stephen Otieno Onyango from Umoja who in the company of others had come with a vehicle to steal from one house in Muthini," she said.
The DCIO noted that a gas cylinder, a television set, a woofer, a laptop, and several vehicle number plates were recovered after arresting the suspect.
"We were notified by members of the public who suspected the vehicle. We managed to recover some of the stolen things from the house," she said.
Kanyi urged residents to be alert and report any suspicious persons or vehicles in their neighbourhoods in a bid to end the robbery cases.
"I would like to ask residents to closely work with the police. Report any suspicious person you spot in your area and we will take over from there," she said.
