Two robbery with violence suspects have been arrested, and a Glock pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm calibre recovered in a raid at an apartment in Yamumbi, Eldoret, Uasin-Gishu county, Kenya’s North Rift.
The two, Kevin Mwangi and Bonface Biwott were ejected from their rented house after defying orders to open the door during the early morning raid by detectives based at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Usin-Gishu, backed up by their counterparts from the elite Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau.
In a statement, DCI said earlier, the two thugs who were on a motorbike had engaged detectives in a hide-and-seek game that lasted a few hours last night, prompting the sleuths to abandon the chase and lay an ambush on their doorstep instead.
