Makongeni Estate residents have been warned against idling around the town centre at night and during daytime by the new OCS Samuel Khisa.
Speaking during a press briefing in his office on Tuesday, Khisa said that men 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 said that he has been a victim of such attacks in the previous station and he is sure that if security officers deal with the idlers, the problem will be no more. The officer added that he is working with the sub-county Police Commander to ensure that anyone idling is arrested to account for their actions.
"I was attacked earlier where I was stationed by a group that had been idling. It is unfortunate that this place also have idlers. I am sure the same people idling during the day are the culprits we are looking for," said Khisa.
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.
He was accompanied by the area Chief Daniel Waiguru who took him around the area, which is, believed to be the criminal and drug dens.
He said that the plainclothes security officers are on the ground for the operation to make sure that those who cause problem for the area residents are brought to book.
