Nakuru County Commander Peter Mwanzo has confirmed the arrest of Dickson Macharia Waithera – the leader of the popular Nakuru “confirm gang“.
Security personnel who were acting on intelligence leads recovered three phones, a laptop and narcotics valued at over Sh331,000 from the suspect.
According to mwanzo, Dickson has been operating a well-organized drug syndicate within Nakuru’s Kivumbini area where he has recruited at least 200 youth to conduct narcotics-related activities.
“We have been looking for this gentleman for a while now because he is also responsible for the drug menace within the City. I understand he leads a group where he distributes bhang in the morning and brought money in the evening hours,” Mwanzo said.
Additionally, Mwanzo terms the arrest as a huge step in the fight against crime.
“It has not been easy to reach him because he is always operating in circles. He has circles of young people protecting him,” he added.
