The police commander noted that several officers have been deployed including a special team to restore sanity in Nairobi.
Currently, the Central Business District (CBD) and its periphery have been on the spot for criminal activity including broad day muggings and robbery with violence.
Nthumbi said plainclothes officers have been tasked to address the matter within the shortest time possible.
According to t the County Police Commander, he said the police have also widened their net to deal with kidnapping cases within the Nairobi region.
He called up the locals to work with the security officers in taming the worsening situation and warning the Boda Boda operators against being part of the criminal activities.
Several Nairobi residents have reported muggings and attacks within the city in recent weeks, with some occurring in broad daylight with the most recent showing daring thugs stealing a phone from an unidentified person inside a Nairobi eatery.
DCI has urged Kenyans to report such cases of crime because perpetrators, who are sometimes arrested, frequently walk free when no charges are preferred against them.
