The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has recently confirmed the arrest of two suspects linked to organised criminal activities in Trans Nzoia County.
According to the DCI, officers from Kitale Police Station, working in collaboration with investigators from DCI Headquarters, conducted a coordinated raid in Chebarus and Kibomet areas of Trans Nzoia West Sub-County.
The operation resulted in the arrest of Dickson Wamocho and Frank Kuyala.

The suspects were apprehended after detectives acted on actionable intelligence pointing to their alleged involvement in organised criminal networks operating within the region.
A thorough search conducted at the scene led to the recovery of several items suspected to have been used in criminal activities.
These included a military-style tactical uniform, two pairs of combat boots, a sword, metal rods, and multiple mobile phones.
The recovered exhibits have since been secured for further forensic analysis as investigations continue.
The two suspects are currently in lawful custody undergoing processing and are expected to be arraigned in court once investigations are complete.
The DCI has reiterated its commitment to dismantling organised criminal gangs across the country through intelligence-driven operations.
The agency also urged members of the public to continue supporting security efforts by providing credible information to assist in crime prevention and detection efforts.
