It is the end of the road for three armed robbery suspects who have been terrorizing Nairobi residents.

The notorious suspects were arrested by DCI detectives in Kilimani area of Nairobi County and Athi River, Machakos County.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) says a firearm was recovered among other suspected stolen properties.

According to the investigative agency, the operation followed a thorough forensic analysis of evidence obtained from various armed robbery scenes across Nairobi and its environs, which were staged on diverse dates from 2023.

Detectives from DCI Headquarters, Starehe, and Athi River joined forces in a sting operation, successfully arresting 39-year-old Julius Osoro Nyagoi in Kilimani area.

In his house no. 641, two of his accomplices; John Michael Muturi, 38, and Charity Njeri Kimani, 34, were also arrested before a thorough search was conducted and several exhibits recovered,” the DCI reports.

Among the items recovered include; a Czeska pistol loaded with 7 rounds of ammunition, two pairs of motor vehicle number plates bearing Reg. Nos. KBB 027Z and KDE 399Q, assorted motor vehicle parts, several sim cards, mobile phones, two laptops, an iPad, logbooks for KCE 135W and KCQ 381A, wristwatches, and ATM cards.
