Police have shot and killed seven suspected gangsters in a foiled robbery attempt at Kibunja trading centre in Molo along the Nakuru-Eldoret highway.
Confirming the incident, Molo OCPD Daniel Kamanza said three others escaped with gunshot wounds.
Mr Kamanza said his officers were alerted by members of the public about two suspicious vehicles before they pounced on the suspects.
According to the police, the thugs were using a Toyota Fielder and a Toyota Prado during the attempted robbery along the busy highway.
“They were trailing a truck that was carrying sugar from Nairobi heading to Eldoret.
“Members of the public suspected the vehicles and alerted the police who moved swiftly and gunned them down,” said Mr Kamanza.
