What could be done;
Due to the numerous cases being reported, its a good time to create an app that collects data of geographical location of robbery or attempted robbery, matatu pickup stage location, route and license plate number.. this could over a period of time generate data that assist with arrests and offer case study information There's alot of information is going round on Social media about these thugs, there’s alot of awareness. The police can improve their self-defence, information gathering and thwarting techniques by getting involved on a few arrests
Never fail to show up with your phone or laptop because of fear of a potential threat of robbery, the day you do, is the day you let these well fed hoodlums triumph... then while we pass the blame around, we should also think of what we can do to make a change, an app or affordable cctv solution in buses would be a start.

Take note of their MO (mode of operation) below: 1. They are in a group of 4 or 5. 2. They are all middle aged men with bloodshot eyes. 3.

I know of someone who stopped his car after hearing cries of a woman being raped only to be carjacked. I think this is part of the reason nairobians don't react to cries of help.

Has anyone else noticed the following youtube video linked to this thread? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHpP2UvyAJs As I was going through gmail on my phone, I noticed that the app had automatically grouped the above video together with this thread. The video was not in my emails and I do not know who told it to search for it but either way it left me a bit impressed and puzzled at the same time. 1. How private are gmail emails? 2.

More information on these laptop and phone thugs;
1. Operate in groups of 2 - 7 2. Smartly dressed and big bodied - (The reason why good Samaritans or members of the public are hesitant on reacting quickly to assist) 3. Carry bags, large envelops, cardboard in large pieces of plastic paper bags 4. Travel distance fare - 10/- to 50/- this maybe subsidized by the conductor working with them 5. In certain reported cases especially at GPO and Yaya one of the thugs may have brandished a gun or threatened with physical harm or hurled insults to scare off good Samaritans. Maybe armed and dangerous.
What could be done;
1. Due to the numerous cases being reported, its a good time to create an app that collects data of geographical location of robbery or attempted robbery, matatu pickup stage location, route and license plate number.. this could over a period of time generate data that assist with arrests and offer case study information 2. There's alot of information is going round on Social media about these thugs, there’s alot of awareness. 3. The police can improve their self-defence, information gathering and thwarting techniques by getting involved on a few arrests
Never fail to show up with your phone or laptop because of fear of a potential threat of robbery, the day you do, is the day you let these well fed hoodlums triumph... then while we pass the blame around, we should also think of what we can do to make a change, an app or affordable cctv solution in buses would be a start.

This guys are normally in Citi hoppa buses. They work very closely with the conductors. Double m and KBS buses know them and are very wary on let them board their buses.
According to my research this are the guys who do carjackings and other violent crimes at night but are pick pockets during the day.
Take note of their MO (mode of operation) below: 1. They are in a group of 4 or 5. 2. They are all middle aged men with bloodshot eyes. 3. They are usually dressed in casual clothes,( jeans, t-shirt, casuals shirts and sweat shirts) 4. They stake out a victim who is not wary of his/her surroundings, especially people on a call, or deep in conversation with a seatmate or just absent minded. 5. They fein having dropped a coin or keys.
In all they conduct a surgical operation and have strength in numbers to back each other up in case of a confrontation.
Please beware

Has anyone else noticed the following youtube video linked to this thread?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHpP2UvyAJs
As I was going through gmail on my phone, I noticed that the app had automatically grouped the above video together with this thread. The video was not in my emails and I do not know who told it to search for it but either way it left me a bit impressed and puzzled at the same time. 1. How private are gmail emails? 2. How much info has google gathered over the years just by snooping into emails?

I know of someone who stopped his car after hearing cries of a woman being raped only to be carjacked. I think this is part of the reason nairobians don't react to cries of help. You never know if you are helping or being robbed.
