A male suspect masquerading as a woman was among two suspects arrested as they prepared to commit a felony in Langata.
Peter Omweno Momanyi aged 24 was arrested dressed as a woman alongside his accomplice John Muchiri Kimani aged 25 after they defied Police orders to stop.
The two were arrested a few metres past the Mbagathi bridge by detectives based in Langata.
“One of the officers who arrested them, had noticed there was something amiss with the appearance of the suspect. He turned back and ordered them to stop but they defied the orders and took to their heels,” said the detectives.
However, young crime busters based at Langata Police Station surpassed them and they were nabbed.
Momanyi was found in possession of a knife and a chain, carefully concealed on his waist.
Sleuths also recovered crude weapons from the two suspects.
Detectives have established that the two are among suspects who waylay Fitness enthusiasts who jog along Langata and Mbagathi roads, early in the morning and late in the evening.
The two have been placed in custody as they await arraignment in court today.
“Members of the public who have lost valuables to the two thugs pictured are required to report to Langata Police Station for further Police action,” urged DCI.
