NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 16 \u2013 Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested three suspects linked to a robbery with violence incident that occurred in Kuria East, Migori County.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement, DCI said detectives from its Kuria East office, working jointly with officers from Kegonga Police Station, apprehended the suspects following the incident reported on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Police said the incident occurred at about 9:00 p.m. along Getrimba Road when the victim was responding to a distress call from a friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victim of this incident was driving his Toyota Probox in the company of his wife and another female passenger when they were accosted by a gang of about seven men riding on three motorcycles, one of them armed with a rifle,\u201dDCI said.<\/p>\n

The gang robbed the driver of Sh 320,000 that had been placed on the dashboard of the vehicle, investigators said.<\/p>\n

During the confrontation, the victim managed to pull out the rifle\u2019s magazine that had been pointed at him, briefly disrupting the attackers before they fled the scene.<\/p>\n

The magazine, loaded with seven rounds of 7.62 \u00d7 39mm ammunition, was later handed over to police as evidence.<\/p>\n

Acting on investigative leads, officers traced the suspects to Korumagucha Village, where three men were arrested.<\/p>\n

Police identified them as Samuel Nyamohanga Chacha, 40, Yusuf Marwa Mwita, 24, and Muniko Samwel Mwita, 44.<\/p>\n

During the operation, detectives recovered a motorcycle believed to have been used in the robbery.<\/p>\n

Officers also seized a Samsung mobile phone, a hat, a shoe believed to have been dropped during the suspects\u2019 escape, and Sh 36,000 suspected to be part of the stolen cash.<\/p>\n

The suspects remain in custody pending their arraignment in court as investigations continue.<\/p>\n

The DCI said it remains committed to ensuring public safety and vowed to pursue all individuals involved in violent crime.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
