Police in Nairobi’s Kilimani area on Sunday morning shot dead two suspected robbers and recovered a handgun, machete, mobile phones and a motorcycle.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), officers on patrol along Tigoni Road near the Naivas chain store outlet bumped into the three-member gang “as they were right in the act.”
In the ensuing shootout, the two suspected robbers were “permanently immobilised” while the other escaped with gunshot wounds, police said.
“Following the incident, two members of the public who had earlier lost their valuables to the hoodlums were able to positively identify them from the recoveries,” added the DCI.
A search for the escapee is underway.
