Police in Mombasa on Wednesday arrested two suspected robbers in Kiembeni, Kisauni sub-county. The suspects, Francis Nziomba and Nicholas Kyallo were found with police handcuffs and a toy pistol during the arrest.
Confirming the incident, Kisauni police chief Musee Sangura, said that security officers are probing the incident. He also said that the police recovered a toy gun and not a real gun as speculated. The suspects were arrested after the police impounded black Subaru vehicle in which they were traveling.
“We want to establish if the suspects are linked to robberies in the city or any other part of the country, We are asking anyone whom might have been robed to come forward and identify the suspects,” the police boss told Journalists.
The arrest came after they were claims that unknown persons were planning to bomb undisclosed destinations in the county. The police were forced to mount roadblocks on various major roads in a bid to arrest the suspects. There were reports that the suspects had been seen in Changamwe before they were arrested.
