In a significant breakthrough, a multi-agency security operation in Msambweni Sub-County, Kwale County, led to the arrest of nine suspects associated with machete-wielding criminal gangs. The arrests were made following an intelligence-driven operation,
marking a key step in the fight against organized crime in the region.

During the operation, which took place earlier today, security personnel conducted a thorough search in the area, recovering several dangerous weapons and illicit items. The items seized included 11 machetes, 5 slashers, 1 hacksaw, 4 knives, 26 sachets of cannabis sativa, a toy gun, and a pair of scissors, among others. These items are believed to be linked to ongoing criminal activities involving local gangs.

The suspects, who have been taken into custody, are set to face processing and subsequent arraignment as investigations continue. The National Police Service (NPS) has assured the public that efforts to combat criminal gangs in the region will persist until all suspects are apprehended.

Authorities are also calling on residents and the general public to cooperate fully with security forces by sharing vital information to assist in the ongoing crackdown on criminal activities. The NPS emphasized that public participation is crucial to the success of the operation and to maintaining the safety and security of the community.

In a statement, the NPS reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the lives and property of all citizens, residents, and visitors. The operation in Msambweni is part of a broader national effort to confront and dismantle criminal networks that have been terrorizing communities across the country.

The security team continues to monitor the situation closely and remains vigilant in safeguarding the region from further criminal activities.
