Police officers in Narok Police Station have arrested three suspects linked to a string of robbery with violence incidents in Narok town and its neighboring areas.

The arrest followed a distress call about an ongoing robbery at Total village. The officers responded swiftly after a three-man gang stormed a rental building, robbed tenants of their cherished possessions including mobile phones, laptops, and gas cylinders. In the chaos, one tenant, a third-year student at Maasai Mara University, suffered serious injuries before the gang escaped.

The suspects identified as Gideon Kipkorir Rono, 22, Haron Kipkirui Bii, 25, and Nicholas Kipngetich Bii, 32, were cornered and arrested despite their efforts to escape. Officers recovered three Maasai swords from the suspects, confirming their malicious intent, along with two Lenovo laptops, seven mobile phones, and a 6kgs gas cylinder.

Following their arrest, the suspects further led officers to their residence, where additional stolen goods, including assorted electronics, gas cylinders, and Kenya Power meters, were recovered, some of which were positively identified by their rightful owners.

The injured tenant was taken to Maasai Mara University Clinic, where he is receiving treatment and is in stable condition.

The suspects are in custody, undergoing processing as they await their day in court. Meanwhile, the recovered items are securely detained as exhibits.
