Seven Suspected Gangsters Gunned Down in Nakuru

Police have gunned down seven suspected gangsters during a foiled robbery at Kibunja trading center in Molo, Nakuru County.

The seven were waylaid as they drove around the shopping centre located along the busy Nakuru-Eldoret Highway in two cars; a Toyota Fielder and Toyota Prado, which they have been using to carry out criminal activities.

Molo OCPD Daniel Kamanza said three other suspects managed to escape with gunshot wounds. Kamanza said his officers conducted the ambush after a tip-off from members of the public.

“They were trailing a truck that was carrying sugar from Nairobi heading to Eldoret. Members of the public suspected the vehicles and alerted the police who moved in swiftly and gunned them down,” said Kamanza.

Police recovered several items including a pistols and several mobile phones.
