Detectives on Tuesday night raided what is believed to be a gang hideout in Huruma, Eldoret, days after 4 suspected gangsters were shot dead.
Acting on credible intelligence, Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives from Soy raided a house in the Sungura area, where it was established that the premises were being used as an operational base for the gang’s illicit activities.
Police recovered 5 Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) jungle jackets, 1 heavy wedge hammer, 1 crowbar, 2 mobile phones and other assorted items believed to have been used in robberies.

The four suspects were fatally shot on Monday during a shootout with police at Greenfield Junction along Eldoret – Kiplombe road after they opened fire on officers.
