Two people who were filmed hanging dangerously from a speeding Mercedes-Benz along Mombasa road have been arrested, while the driver remains at large.
The arrested suspects were detained at Capital Hill Police Station in Nairobi.
Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen expressed concern about the incident and pledged to take action. He also shared details of the car, including the owner’s information.
“We are concerned, and a responsible citizen has alerted us. We shall do what we must,” the CS said.
The two individuals were filmed hanging from the window of the car while it was being driven at high speed.
The vehicle has been detained at Nairobi Area Traffic Headquarters pending further legal processes.
The suspects are expected to be arraigned today, Tuesday.
Travelling with any part of the body outside a moving vehicle is a traffic offence that attracts a penalty of Sh1,000. Passengers are required to wear a seatbelt whenever a vehicle is in motion, and failure to do so is an offence that attracts a fine of at least Sh500.
