two individuals linked to an inter-country mobile phone theft syndicate, recovering more than 900 stolen devices in Nairobi\u2019s Central Business District.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detectives from Nairobi Central Sub-County, acting on intelligence, carried out a meticulously planned operation along Charles Rubia Street near the busy Buscar bus stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officers intercepted two packages bound for Uganda, which contained approximately 900 stolen mobile phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspects, identified as Brian Yomasia and Stephen Okwachi Shisia, could not provide satisfactory explanations for possessing the phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPreliminary investigations indicate that the two suspects, who could not account for the mobile phones, are part of a larger syndicate involved in stealing devices from the public and mobile phone shops, then selling them in neighboring countries,\u201d said the DCI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
