Detectives from the DCI Headquarters Operation Action Team (OAT) have arrested three suspected robbers linked to a series of violent crimes in Westlands and other parts of Nairobi.
In a statement on Friday, July 24, DCI said the detectives also recovered a Retay Falcon pistol loaded with live ammunition during the operation.
Detectives first conducted investigations that helped piece together the gang’s criminal activities.
The team later carried out an intelligence-led operation along Ngina Road in Kawangware, where officers arrested Nimrod Khayeshe, alias Buba.
Following his arrest, Khayeshe led police to his two alleged accomplices, Vangelis Njungi, alias Vangi, and Patrick Kingato.
Officers also recovered a Retay Falcon pistol fitted with a magazine containing three 9mm rounds during the search.
Additionally, police recovered two motorcycles, registration numbers KMGT 497W and KMHG 829H.
Authorities believe the suspects used these specific motorbikes as getaway vehicles during their robberies.
