Detectives from Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in 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 DCI said that the intelligence-led operation, conducted in Kware and Mandazi Road areas within Rongai town, led to the arrest of Cyrus Mureithi Mburu and Peter Kangethe.

On conducting a search at Cyrus Mburu’s residence, officers recovered 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),” DCI said in a statement.

Detectives also recovered two imitation firearms, a pair of handcuffs, keys and a Maasai sword. DCI said that the items have been secured as exhibits.

The suspects are currently in custody at Ngong Police Station pending arraignment, as investigations continue.
