Seven suspects associated with numerous robberies in Naivasha have been arrested.
According to a post made on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) X account, the detectives together with police officers from Naivasha Police Station acting on a hot tip, swooped into action, busting the alleged gang of seven linked to a string of robberies in Naivasha town and beyond.
A Retay Falcon Pistol was recovered during the swift arrest of the seven; Patrick Handi 45, David Muchina, 34, Grace Wanjiru, 33, Erick Kabiru, 32, Hassan Jamal, 32, Christopher Kimani, 30, and Ronny Muturi, 30.
The DCI details that “the seven were intercepted in Naivasha town, cruising in a grey Mazda Demio registration no. KCS 384B like they owned the streets, but their joyride came to a screeching halt when the officers closed in.”
“Upon a quick search, their weapon of choice, a sneaky Retay Falcon Pistol, was recovered concealed under the rear back left seat. Although the pistol is designed not to fire live rounds and to be as harmless as a toy, it was the gang’s secret weapon,” DCI reported.
The DCI further notes that the suspects wielded the harmless gun like a dragon’s claw, intimidating innocent members of the public, robbing them of their valuables before vanishing.
They are currently in custody, undergoing processing, awaiting their arraignment.
