Eldoret: County Commander Warns Residents of New Phone Theft Trends
Uasin Gishu County commander Benjamin Mwanthi has revealed a new trend where thieves steal phones in Eldoret town.
“We have gotten a new trend in Eldoret town where one asks you to give him or her your phone to call someone at home in which they claim is ailing, after giving him the phone he/she pretends there is no network and starts moving that how you lose your phone,” said the Uasin Gishu County Commander.
He however says that the cases of phone theft have reduced.
“We warn the public especially those from rural areas when I town don’t trust them and if they need your assistance refer him or her to the nearest police station or you will end up being conned,” the County Police boss added.
He called on residents to work as their watchdogs by reporting anyone involved in any sort of crime promising to take stern actions against them.
