Detectives are looking for three suspects who raided a drinking joint at Ruaraka’s Kasabuni area, before ransacking all revelers of their pockets and fleeing.
The three suspects who were armed with a firearm initially posed as vagabonds of unsound mind carrying sacks on their backs, before entering the club to seek for alms.
The thugs then ransacked the revellers pockets stealing their mobile phones, cash and other valuables.
“The three miscreants who were armed with a firearm initially posed as vagabonds of unsound mind carrying sacks on their backs, before entering Reke Marie pub to seek for alms. All this while, the revelers who were unperturbed by the trio’s presence continued corroding their esophageal glands with impunity as they downed cold swallows, until one of the presumed madmen whipped out a riffle from his sack and ordered everyone to lie down!” the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said in a statement.
However one reveller abused them prompting the thugs to fire two rounds in the air attracting the attention of police officers on patrol, who immediately rushed to the scene.
However, by the time police arrived, the thugs had vanished into darkness.
According to DCI sleuths two empty cartridges were recovered at the scene. The spent cartridges have since been sent to the DCI National Forensic Laboratory for scientific analysis by ballistic experts.
Meanwhile, police are pursuing leads into the whereabouts of the thugs masquerading as beggars.
