Police in Korogocho have arrested a suspect linked to phone-snatching incidents in the area following a public tip-off.

The suspect was arrested in Balcans after two men allegedly snatched a mobile phone from a complainant in Tumaini and fled on foot.

Police recovered two mobile phones, a Tecno and an Infinix, believed to be linked to criminal activities.

The suspect is being held at Korogocho Police Station pending arraignment at the Makadara Law Courts.

The arrest comes amid growing concerns over rising cases of mobile phone theft in Nairobi and its environs.
