Firearms Stolen in Brazen Raid on Homa Bay Police Post
Police in Homa Bay have launched a major investigation after unknown assailants broke into a local police post and made off with several firearms in a brazen security breach. The incident, which occurred at the Kadel Police Post in Karachuonyo, has raised serious concerns about the safety of police armories and the potential for these weapons to escalate violence in the region.
According to preliminary reports, the raiders targeted the post under the cover of darkness, overpowering the officers on duty before gaining access to the armory. The exact number and type of stolen firearms have not been officially disclosed, but sources indicate that at least two G3 rifles were taken. The attackers fled the scene before reinforcements could arrive, and no arrests have been made thus far.
Homa Bay County Commissioner Moses Lilan confirmed the incident and assured the public that a multi-agency team is pursuing all leads to recover the weapons and apprehend the perpetrators. This is a serious crime against the state, and we are treating it with the urgency it deserves. We have mobilized all necessary resources, and we are confident the culprits will be brought to book, Lilan stated.
The theft has sent shockwaves through the local security apparatus and the community, coming at a time when the county is grappling with gang violence and cattle rustling. The loss of state firearms poses a significant threat to public safety, as they could easily find their way into the hands of criminal or politically motivated groups. The incident has prompted an immediate review of security protocols at police posts across the county to prevent a repeat of such a breach.
