Two suspected robbers were arrested by police after being captured on CCTV camera raiding an M-Pesa shop in Mombasa while armed with an AK-47 rifle.
Festus Mutie Kaloki alias Kamwana and Peter Kilaa appeared in court in Mombasa on Friday for the February 13 incident that went viral on social media.
Detectives told the court that the two are being investigated in connection with a chain of violent robberies in Mombasa.
