Homa Bay: Thugs break into police station, steal 4 guns and 110 bullets

Homa Bay County security officials have intensified operations to recover four guns and 110 rounds of ammunition reportedly stolen from Kipasi Police Post in Lambwe ward, Mbita sub-county, by unknown people.

In the Wednesday night incident labelled as a break-in, the weapons stolen alongside the ammunition included an AK47 and three G3 rifles.

According to the police report, an unknown number of thugs broke into the armoury through the window and stole the said weapons.

It is still not clear how the robbers broke into the armoury and where the police officers attached to the post were during the night raid.

Homa Bay County Police Commander Samson Kinne said they have intensified their operations to recover the guns and arrest the suspects as soon as possible, adding that the incident has caused tension in the area.

The police boss has since called on members of the public to cooperate with the security officers in tracing the weapons as they’re in the wrong hands and therefore a threat to their livelihoods.

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), regular police and national government administration officials are on the ground to ensure they recover the guns.
