Three robbery with violence suspects were on Thursday night fatally shot by a team of detectives at Kwa Mbao area in Kariobangi.
The trio were part of a four-member gang allegedly captured on camera committing various robberies in the past.
Two pistols, rounds of ammunition, spent cartridges, and an unregistered motor cycle were recovered after the shootout.
One suspect escaped during the incident and according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation, search parties have already been dispatched.
According to the DCI’s Friday tweet, the gangsters were also involved in other heinous crimes including the death of a University student within Buruburu two months ago.
“In another incident, the four are believed to have robbed valuables from customers and later ransacked a business premise where they carted away electronic gadgets,” the DCI said.
