Police in Kisumu have arrested three suspects believed to be part of a gang that has been terrorizing commuters along the Kisumu-Nairobi road near the CFAO Center.<\/p>\n
The suspects, aged between 22 and 27, were apprehended during a sting operation led by undercover officers from Kasagam Police Station.<\/p>\n
The gang of five reportedly ambushed the officers with crude weapons, unaware they were engaging armed law enforcement in an orchestrated operation to dismantle their activities.<\/p>\n
Three of the suspects, realizing they were outmatched, surrendered and dropped their weapons.<\/p>\n
The other two managed to escape but have since been identified and are being pursued by authorities, who have urged them to surrender.<\/p>\n
The arrested suspects include Elly Omondi Oyugi and Isaac Ochieng, both 22 years old, who are now in police custody pending arraignment.<\/p>\n
Wesley John Oyugi, 27, sustained injuries during the confrontation and is currently undergoing treatment under police supervision.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement officials confirmed that efforts to locate and apprehend the remaining suspects are ongoing.<\/p>\n
The operation underscores the police\u2019s commitment to ensuring safety along the Kisumu-Nairobi corridor, which has seen a rise in incidents of robbery targeting motorists and pedestrians.<\/p>\n
The arrests have been lauded by residents, who expressed relief at the intervention, and authorities have reiterated their call for community support in reporting criminal activity to ensure swift action.<\/p>\n
