The National Police Service (NPS) has recovered 14 illegal firearms and 51 rounds of ammunition in Baringo and Turkana counties.
According to reports, this forms part of ongoing security operations targeting illicit arms.
In a statement on Monday, February 2, 2026, the National Police Service (NPS) said the recovery of the illegal firearms, achieved through intelligence-led operations, marked a significant step in the fight against banditry, cattle rustling, and other violent crimes that continue to threaten lives and livelihoods in northern Kenya.
“The recovery of these weapons represents a critical step in disrupting banditry, cattle rustling, and other violent crimes that have long threatened the safety and livelihoods of local communities,” NPS stated.
NPS therefore urged members of the public to cooperate with law enforcement by sharing information that could help in the recovery of illegal firearms or the prevention of criminal activity.
