The National Police Service has successfully disrupted a fraud syndicate operating in the Tayari area of Molo Sub-County, Nakuru County.
This is part of its ongoing, intensified operations to combat all forms of crime.
Following actionable intelligence from members of the public, officers conducted a targeted raid on a residential house linked to suspicious cyber activity.
NPS in a statement on Thursday, November 6, 2025, said upon gaining entry, officers recovered hundreds of assorted SIM cards, multiple national identification documents, several mobile phones, and motor vehicle parts.
“Eight suspects were arrested during the operation,” the police said.
Two others fled the scene and are currently being pursued by officers, while the exhibits recovered from the scene have been secured pending further action.
“The National Police Service remains committed to safeguarding Kenyans from digital and technology-driven crime through intelligence-led, multi-agency strategies,” it added.
In addition, the police asked members of the public to continue supporting efforts to combat crime by promptly reporting any suspicious activities at their nearest police station or via the toll-free numbers 999, 911, and 112.
“Reports can also be made anonymously to #FichuaKwaDCI on 0800 722 203 or via WhatsApp on 0709 570 000,” NPS noted.
