Two robbery with violence suspects were on Wednesday arrested in Eldoret and a pistol recovered.
The Glock pistol loaded with 7 rounds of 9mm caliber was recovered after police raided an apartment in Yamumbi.
In a statement, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the suspects, Kevin Mwangi and Bonface Biwott, are believed to be behind a spate of robbery incidents in Eldoret town.
“Earlier, the two thugs who were on a motorbike had engaged our men in a hide-and-seek game that lasted a few hours last night, prompting the sleuths to abandon the chase and lay an ambush on their doorstep, instead,” the DCI said.
During the operation, the police also recovered a variety of electronic items suspected of being stolen property.
A toy pistol and a bucket containing cannabis sativa, also known as bhang locally, were also found inside the house.
The suspects are in custody and are helping police with investigations.
