The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has launched a probe into the destruction of a Mazda CX-5 that was torched along Thika Road during ongoing protests.
In a statement, the DCI confirmed that it has obtained and is currently analysing viral video footage believed to show individuals suspected of taking part in the incident.
The detectives say the material is key in identifying those involved in the destruction and ensuring they are held accountable.
According to the agency, the incident posed a serious threat to public safety and resulted in significant property damage.
Authorities have described the act as criminal, stressing that investigations are ongoing and progressing steadily as officers pursue critical leads.
The DCI further noted that efforts are underway to trace and apprehend all individuals connected to the attack.
Detectives are working to establish the identities of those seen in the footage, with the aim of building strong cases against them once they are arrested.
The National Police Service has reiterated its commitment to maintaining law and order during demonstrations.
The service emphasized that while citizens have the right to protest, any attempt to exploit such gatherings for violence, vandalism, or destruction of property will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law.
Members of the public have also been urged to assist in the investigation. The DCI is calling on anyone who may recognize the individuals captured in the video or who may have relevant information about the incident.
Authorities have assured Kenyans that all information received will be treated with confidentiality as investigations continue, with the goal of ensuring that those responsible are brought to justice to come forward.
