A town in western Kenya has reported a
sharp drop in serious crime, with police
concluding that criminals were too busy
watching the World Cup to go out and
steal. LMAO
“At least now the youth have something to
keep them occupied so they are not involved
in criminal activities,” local police commander
in Kisumu, David Ng’etich, was quoted as
saying by The Star newspaper.
“We hope that the peace will continue even
after the World Cup,” he added.
Kisumu police boss Musa Kongoli also told the paper
that since the tournament began, he had not
handled any “very serious” cases, “apart from
the incident where a police officer shot dead
a football fan” at a video store following a
row.
The town of Kisumu has been wracked by high
levels of violent crime in the past, and earlier
this year local officials appealed for more
street lights and CCTV cameras to be installed
to deter criminals.
“Police patrols are going on and we do not
intend to stop simply because crime has gone
down in the area,” Kongoli was quoted as
saying
