Highway phone snatching has become a significant issue in Kenya, particularly in urban areas and along busy roads.

Criminals often target passengers in traffic, reaching into car windows to snatch phones, bags, or other valuables.

The situation is particularly dire in areas like Tom Mboya Street, Limuru, and various Nairobi traffic hotspots such as Racecourse Road and River Road.

Thieves often operate in teams, using distractions to target unsuspecting victims.

Their operations are typically timed during rush hours when vehicles are stationary or moving slowly​.

Authorities have identified these crimes as a growing concern, prompting calls for enhanced police patrols and public vigilance.

Despite past multi-agency crackdowns on crime in urban centers, phone snatching persists as a significant challenge.

Victims often lose their devices in seconds, with the perpetrators disappearing quickly into crowds or between vehicles.

The criminals appear to view these thefts as a daily hustle, exploiting predictable traffic conditions and the public’s lack of awareness to succeed​.

To protect themselves, residents are urged to minimize phone use near car windows, especially in traffic or congested areas.

Community awareness and coordinated efforts by law enforcement remain critical to tackling this menace.

With increased surveillance and swift police action, there is hope to curb the rising cases of phone snatching and improve safety for commuters and pedestrians alike​.
