The Githurai 45 marketplace makes for good hunting grounds for petty thieves. On weekends, the slum market located on Thika Road is jam-packed as city residents jostle to shop after a busy week.

Hundreds of church-goers who attend the many churches situated on the fringes of the busy market also add to the number of eager shoppers. They all are easy prey for the pickpockets who roam the market freely and mingle with the unsuspecting shoppers.
