In 2020 a report by Crimes and safety which was created in collaboration with the Regional Security Office of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi indicated that the Kenyan capital was identified as a hotspot for muggings.
"Most street crime involves multiple armed assailants. In some instances, large crowds of street criminals incite criminal activity, which has the potential to escalate into mob violence with little notice," reads an excerpt from the report.
