Barely 24 hours after detectives fatally shot four suspected gangsters along the Eldoret–Kiplombe–Soy Road, investigators have uncovered what is believed to be the gang’s operational hideout in Huruma, Eldoret.
Acting on credible intelligence, detectives from DCI Soy conducted a raid on a house in Sungura area. Preliminary investigations indicate that this premise served as a base of operations for the gang’s illicit activities.
A thorough search of the premises yielded an assortment of items linked to their criminal activities. Among the recovered items were five Kenya Defence Forces jungle jackets, a heavy wedge hammer, a crowbar, two mobile phones, among other items.
The recovery of the military-style attire adds a crucial piece to the ongoing investigations into a criminal network masquerading as police and military personnel to carry out violent robberies across the Rift Valley region.
Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) detectives meticulously processed and documented the scene, ensuring that all recovered items are secured as evidence for forensic analysis.
As investigations continue, detectives are hot on the trail of the gang’s fleeing accomplices, determined to unravel the full extent of this syndicate’s operations.
The DCI further expressed its gratitude to the vigilant members of the public for their unwavering support and urged them to continue sharing information to help keep our communities safe.
