Detectives from DCI Kajiado North, working jointly with officers from Ngong Police Station, have arrested two suspects and recovered a firearm previously robbed from a police officer.
The intelligence-led operation, conducted in Kware and Mandazi Road areas within Rongai town, led to the arrest of Cyrus Mureithi Mburu (54) and Peter Kangethe (49).
A search at Mburu’s residence resulted in the recovery of a magazine loaded with 15 rounds of 9mm ammunition and a half-litre of gun oil.
A further search led to the recovery of a Ceska pistol (serial number F9418), earlier robbed from an officer attached to the Security of Government Buildings (SGB).
Detectives also recovered two imitation firearms, a pair of handcuffs, keys and a Maasai sword. All items have been secured as exhibits.
The suspects are currently in custody at Ngong Police Station pending arraignment, as investigations continue.
