Three gunmen were this morning gunned down by police officers after a hot pursuit in Kirigiti area of Kiambu County.
The three were among a gang of five bandits who have been terrorising the town for the past few weeks. This is before the residents allegedly conspired with the police who were able to uncover their plans before ambushing them along Kiambu road.
According to eyewitnesses, the three were in a personal vehicle where they were being trailed by the police.
The criminals’ car hit a tree and the police managed to shoot the three of them when trying to escape.
Confirming the incident, Kiambu OCPD Stephen Ng’etich said that this should be a lesson to all those thinking of perpetrating crime in Kiambu. He said that the police are on the watch out to apprehend such elements.
Ng’etich said, “We are going to make sure that all those criminals in midst are flashed out. We are sure that with the collaboration by residents, we will keep Kiambu safe.”
