On Sunday, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Lang'ata arrested three individuals suspected of being part of an organised criminal gang in Kasarani, Nairobi.
The suspects, Isaac Njoroge, Dennis Mugambi Kamwara, and Brenda Watetu Kamau, are accused of running a fake fish supplements business that has been targeting unsuspecting victims through online transactions.
According to the DCI, the trio operates under pseudo names using different phone numbers, making it difficult for victims to track them down.
“Following increased reports of fraud involving a fake fish supplements business, three suspects were today arrested by DCI Lang'ata detectives within Roysambu in Kasarani,” a statement from the DCI reads.
The police have warned members of the public to be cautious when engaging in online business transactions with individuals or companies whose physical addresses and legitimacy they do not know.
