Nakuru based police arrest 4 suspects, recover 25 arrows

Police officers based in Njoro, Nakuru County have arrested four suspects and recovered 25 arrows in Mauche Ward, Nakuru County, and recovered 25 arrows.

The arrests followed police investigations after a photo of the suspects wielding crude weapons were shared by the detectives on their different social media platforms.

“They proudly paraded their crude weapons, without regard to security concerns in their neighbourhoods. The four suspects are in custody and the recovered arrows are kept as exhibits,” the National Police Service (NPS) said in a statement on Sunday.

National police service said the Njoro Sub-County Criminal Investigations Office is processing the suspects for arraignment.
