Detectives from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) based in Kilimani have arrested a suspected burglar believed to be behind a series of break-ins targeting high-end residences in Nairobi’s Kileleshwa area.

The suspect, identified as Daniel Mosomi Saisi, was apprehended following investigations into a reported burglary at Serengeti Court in Kileleshwa, where two residents reported being robbed during a nighttime break-in.

According to investigators, the suspect is said to have gained access to the apartments under the cover of darkness, making off with valuables estimated to be worth approximately Sh900,000. The stolen items reportedly included high-value electronics and personal gadgets belonging to the complainants.

Following the report, detectives launched a coordinated manhunt that led them to Millennium Apartments along Thiongo Road in Kangemi, where the suspect was traced and arrested.

During the arrest, officers recovered a cache of suspected stolen items, including a base-proof light headset, a gaming console charging system, an iPad 11, a JBL portable speaker, an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and PlayStation accessories. Authorities say the items were later positively identified by the complainants as their stolen property.

Investigators believe the recovered items may be part of a wider pattern of targeted thefts in upscale residential areas, raising concerns over growing incidents of residential burglary in parts of Nairobi. Detectives are now pursuing further leads to establish whether the suspect acted alone or was part of a broader criminal network.

The suspect is currently in custody, undergoing processing ahead of arraignment, as detectives continue with investigations into the alleged burglary spree.

Security agencies have urged residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity through official channels, including the DCI’s anonymous reporting hotline.

The arrest comes as law enforcement agencies intensify efforts to curb rising cases of property crime in urban estates, particularly those targeting high-value households.
