Kenya police officers in Eldoret town are working around the clock to bring to justice eight criminals who have terrorised the county over the last two months.

The eight are members of a gang that has been terrorising residents and even targetting police officers, police said.

Two of the eight were shot down on Saturday at Macharia estate, with a Ceska pistol with nine bullets recovered.

“The two had earlier been arrested and had agreed to surrender the gun they had hidden, but they suddenly turned against police officers,” Eldoret West police boss Samuel Mutunga said.
