Detectives based in Gilgil, northwest of Nairobi, are pursuing a criminal gang that has been roughing up public members before bundling them in a white Toyota Noah and robbing them of valuables.
The dreaded knife-wielding gang of four men, including the driver, singles out specific targets at isolated areas, whom they frogmarch into their vehicle, tie up, and blindfold before robbing them and dumping them a distance away.
In one such incident in Gilgil on Saturday morning, a lone man waiting for a vehicle by the roadside was bundled into the said vehicle before his cash, some shopping, Cooperative, and Equity Bank ATM cards were robbed from him.
The tied-up and blindfolded victim was later flung from the moving vehicle at Kariandusi after being forced to reveal the PINs for the ATM cards.
Passersby rescued him before reporting to the police.
