This came after last month’s arrest of Margaret Waithera Kamande, who had an international warrant against her for burglary. DCI boss George Kinoti, in a statement, said that Lavender and Elizabeth had warrants of arrest against them for jumping bail. Ms Waithera was arrested in Tanzania and arraigned in a Zimbabwe court but got bail and sneaked back into Kenya. Police spokesperson Charles Owino says there is an upsurge in the number of women involved in crime and blames it on changes in the way of living. A government survey released last year showed that the number of women who have turned to crime had increased, compared with 2017, and currently stands at 15,221.
