Thugs in the capital city have changed tactics to rob unsuspecting pedestrians of their valuables along major roads and highways. According to several victims, the thugs target women before stealing their items, especially phones, and handbags. Victims narrated that the thugs pretend to have dropped some money in the matatu, prompting them to help. However, when the victim concentrates on recovering the money, the thugs strike and slyly steal their phones and other valuables. "These are some tactics thugs have resulted in a bid to reap where they did not sow, preying on unsuspecting passengers," another victim lamented.
