The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has arrested four suspects behind two violent robberies reported in Naivasha and Gilgil.
In an update, DCI said the suspects were arrested in Njoro, Nakuru County, and a motor vehicle stolen in one of the robberies was recovered.
According to the agency, a joint team of Nakuru and Nairobi detectives while pursuing a robbery incident reported at Naivasha Police Station on February 14 intercepted two suspects believed to be accomplices in the case, who were driving a Mitsubishi truck (FH) Reg. No KCB 383Z.
Suspects
Upon interrogations, detectives established that the two suspects Evans Mwangi Njenga, 45, and Geoffrey Kamau Hinga, 53 were on their way to meet two other suspected accomplices in Njoro town.
“An ambush came through when Peter Wahinyo Wanyoike, 45, and Julius Gichagu Wanguno, 32 dropped at the vehicle looking for their suspected partners in crime.
“With the four in cuffs, it was further established that the said truck had been robbed in Gilgil at Elementaita area when the driver who had been hired to offer transport services was abducted, sodomized, and left tied up at a construction site within Punda Milia section yesterday, Friday 23,” DCI stated.
During the incident, the 38-year-old driver was also robbed off Sh55,000 and his mobile phone by a six-member gang, who disabled the lorry tracker and disappeared. The victim was rushed to Gilgil Sub-County Hospital for treatment.
The recovered vehicle has since been towed and detained at Njoro Police Station where the suspects were also booked pending further police action.
