Two guards arrested for colluding with armed gang to rob Chinese nationals in Nairobi
Detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested two men in connection with a robbery with violence incident that happened at a go-down site in Makadara, Nairobi, last Sunday.
The two arrested men are guards suspected of colluding with the miscreant gang to gain entry into the premises and are under interrogation.
According to a DCI report, eight-armed robbers forced their way into the structure where eleven Chinese nationals who work at the site were having dinner and wreaked havoc before stealing their cash and other valuable items.
“Eleven Chinese nationals who work at the site had just finalised the day’s activities and were having dinner in one of the structures.
Little did they know that their evening would be rudely interrupted by dangerous uninvited guests,” read the DCI statement.
“As they were enjoying their meals, 8 mean-looking men armed with all sorts of crude weapons forced their way into the structure,” it added.
The gang is said to have ordered the Chinese nationals to lie down as they ransacked every inch of the rooms.
They managed to make away with Sh800,000, eight mobile phones, two laptops, and a bag full of valuables all valued at Sh200,000.
During the incident, three of the victims sustained slight injuries on their limbs.
