US Embassy warns its citizens of high crime rates in Nairobi estates
The US Embassy has warned its citizens of increased crime rates in Nairobi estates.
In an advisory issued on Friday, the Embassy has warned its citizens residing in Nairobi to take caution even as they go about their business.
"There are reports of increased criminal activity in residential areas of Nairobi," the Embassy said.
"Incidents include crimes of opportunity such as purse and phone snatching," the advisory reads.
The Embassy, however, noted the Kenya government is taking measures to deploy more police in high-crime areas.
As a result, the Embassy has advised its citizens to avoid displaying any signs of wealth when they are moving around.
This entails avoiding walking around wearing expensive jewellery, watches, or flashing large sums of money.
