Two robbery with violence suspects have been arrested and a loaded glock pistol recovered, in a raid at an apartment in Yamumbi, Eldoret, Uasin-Gishu county.
The two, Kevin Mwangi and Bonface Biwott, were ejected out of their rented house after defying orders to open the door during the early morning raid by detectives based at DCI Usin-Gishu, backed up by their counterparts from the elite Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau.
Earlier, the two thugs – who were on a motorbike – had engaged police in a hide-and-seek game that lasted a few hours, prompting the sleuths to abandon the chase and lay an ambush on their doorstep, instead.
Immediately after gaining access to the house, a search was conducted leading to the recovery of the firearm, assorted electronic goods suspected to have been stolen, a toy pistol and a bucket containing bhang.
The suspects believed to be behind the recent robbery incidents reported in Eldoret town and its environs were arrested and are currently in custody assisting police with investigations.
