The Directorate of Criminal Investigations(DCI) have arrested six armed and dangerous gangsters who have been violently attacking and robbing motorists off their valuables along the Southern bypass.
According to the DCI, the arrests followed a report made by a motorist who was attacked and violently robbed off his valuables after he stopped his vehicle, a silver Mercedes Benz to let his son answer a call of nature.
“Tom Onyango and his three year-old son were driving from Nakuru to Nairobi, when they were accosted by the thugs a few metres past the virtual weigh bridge,” DCI stated.
DCI added that immediately Onyango made his report at Langata Police Station, a contingent of officers drawn from general duty, DCI and a tracker dog from the canine unit were deployed to flush out the suspects, who had taken cover deep in the nearby forest.
“When the officers finally emerged from the forest, they had six suspects in their custody, three of whom were positively identified by the badly shaken victim and his son, as those who had attacked them,” said the DCI.
DCI is appealing to motorists who have previously been attacked along the busy highway, to report to Langata Police Station and assist in identifying the suspects within the next seven days.
