A joint team of detectives from Mutuati and Igembe North Sub-Counties has cracked down on a violent robbery ring, rounding up six suspects and recovering two Falcon pistols in the process.
The takedown came after weeks of covert surveillance that finally paid off when officers moved in, storming the suspectsโ hideouts apprehending them flat-footed before they could stage their next attack.
Upon the arrest, detectives recovered two Falcon pistols and three live ammunition. Also recovered are two numberless motorcycles, stripped bike parts, and other incriminating exhibits completing the picture of a crew deeply entrenched in organised crime.
Ballistics experts are leaving no stone unturned, conducting a meticulous scientific analysis of the recovered firearms to link them to any crimes they may have been used to commit.
The six; Derrick Kithinji, Aaron Mwendia, Amon Muarangiri, Anthony Munene, Francis Mugambi, and Ambrose Muriithi are in custody and will be arraigned today.
As the country ushers in the festive season, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations is cautioning criminals that their days are numbered. Detectives have intensified crackdown on such syndicates and are on high alert in case of any eventualities.
