Police in Trans Nzoia County have arrested two suspects linked to organised criminal activities following an intelligence-led operation that also led to the recovery of several weapons.

Officers from Kitale Police Station, working jointly with detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, carried out 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.

A search conducted during the raid led to the recovery of items believed to have been used in criminal activities, including a military-style tactical uniform, two pairs of combat boots, a sword, metal rods and several mobile phones.

The suspects are currently in custody undergoing processing ahead of their arraignment in court, while the recovered items have been secured as exhibits.

Authorities say the operation forms part of ongoing efforts to dismantle organised criminal networks, urging members of the public to continue sharing information to support law enforcement agencies.
