Thugs caught in the act by patrol cops along Ngong Road – What followed was like a scene from an action movie.

 Thursday, 10 February 2022 – A gunfight between police on patrol and two city robbers found terrorizing members of the public along Adams Arcade Ngong Road ended in fatalities after the latter duo defied orders to surrender.

What captured the officers’ attention was a parked motorcycle bearing an obscured registration plate, followed by a sudden tussle between two youthful men and members of the public.

As police rushed to the scene, the two gun-toting men hopped on the bike and jerked away, triggering a hot pursuit coupled with a rapid exchange of fire. 

As the fleeing duo revved up towards Dagoretti Corner on the wrong side of the traffic, the relentless officers closed in, cornering them at the Riara-Naivasha Rd junction.

Realizing that their fastest escape means had hit a cul-de-sac, the two crazed miscreants made vain efforts to dart away, defying surrender orders.

They were fatally neutralized in the nighttime encounter, where a pistol, three mobile phones, and a Rolex wrist watch were recovered from them.

Efforts to trace the victims of the violent robbery is underway, to have their valuables handed over once legal procedures are completed.
