Other areas also cited then as hotspots were OTC – Racecourse Road, Uyoma Road near St Peter’s Clevers Church and the junction of Ronald Ngala and Racecourse Roads towards River Road.

The thieves were accused of causing injuries to victims, snatching phones, watches, laptops, handbags, fancy spectacles, earrings and chains.

City Inspectorate director of operations Peter Mbaya said the criminals were using the boda bodas to get away from scenes of crime.
