Thugs are always looking for ways to evade the police and continue with their activities of enriching themselves through robbery with violence.
The security organs must ensure that they protect the lives and properties of Kenyans. To do this, they have to invest in mechanisms of receiving intelligence information from members of the public so that they are one step ahead of these criminals.

The notion that high-end fuel guzzlers are used by well-to-do individuals in society is a bad one because thugs are now using that perception by the public to operate their illegal activities without anyone suspecting them.

It takes a tip-off from members of the public to help the directorate of criminal investigation officers to apprehend such dangerous characters.
