The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has apprehended five robbery suspects who went live on TikTok and displayed the items they reportedly stole from citizens.

In a now-viral video, the five were seen bullishly bragging about how they had managed to steal valuable items and mobile phones from Kenyans.

In the video, one was heard saying, "We are in business, just DM us," while flashing what seems to be a stolen phone.

Another one interjected "The owner of this ID should come for it...There's another one who left us his coat and it had his car keys."

The third one said "Come for your Ksh.50 coat, we cannot stay with it. It even had lice on it."

They even warned those planning to attend an upcoming event slated for December 31, saying "Don't bring these things to Christina Shusho's concert. Don't be afraid to bring an expensive phone."

DCI now says that the video prompted an intelligence-led operation by a team of officers based at Central Police Station in Mombasa which led to the capture of the five individuals.

Vincent Ochieng, Shadrack Ochieng, Felix Otieno, Salim Ali and Shafi Yusuf are suspected to be members of an organized criminal group that has been operating within Sargoi area and it's neighborhoods.

Also recovered from the five were three iPhones, a Samsung phone, a mojo phone, a Bluetooth headphone and the jacket they so termed as undesirable.

The five have been processed pending arraignment.
