Police in Marsabit County are investigating a livestock theft reported early Tuesday morning in Gudas, Laisamis Sub-County.
Marsabit County Commissioner Stanley Kamande said the exact number of stolen animals has yet to be confirmed as investigations continue. However, preliminary findings link two suspects to the raid.
Security officers tracking the animals’ footprints indicated that eight camels were taken, though some local residents claim up to 27 livestock were stolen.
Kamande urged residents to remain calm and patient while security agencies work to recover the animals and bring the perpetrators to justice. He also cautioned against retaliatory attacks, warning that such actions could escalate conflict and threaten community safety.
Security teams remain on the ground tracking the stolen stock, and the government is expected to issue further updates as the search progresses.
