Mrs Momanyi said police should maintain good working relationship with all county residents to end crime.
“Harassing innocent youths won’t help end crime. In case a suspect has been reported, he or she should be handled as by the law because we are all protected by the constitution,” she said.
She asked County Commissioner Isaiah Nakuro to involve the local government administrators in fighting crimes in the county.
"The County Commissioner should involve all stakeholders when fighting crime. Unnecessary profiling of youths should be tamed," she said.
