The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives in Malindi, Kilifi County, have arrested two robbery suspects believed to be part of a criminal gang responsible for a recent break-in within the area that resulted in the theft of property of unknown value.

One of the suspects, 34-year-old Victor Otieno, was arrested after police, acting on intelligence reports, laid an ambush along the Kilifi-Malindi Road on Wednesday.

Police reports indicate that Otieno was aboard a motorcycle, Reg. No. KMGC 208C, with another suspect, when they ignored the officers’ order to stop at the Kilifi bridge, prompting the detectives to open fire.

At about 1530hrs, a motorcycle reg. no. KMGC 208C make hawk white in colour came speeding from Malindi towards Mombasa general direction and was challenged to stop as it approached Kilifi bridge. They declined to stop prompting the officers to open fire,” a police report documenting the incident reads.

“A shoot out started and extended to Mnarani centre whereby the said motorcycle lost control and veered off the road.”

Otieno was arrested, but the rider, who reportedly fired back at the officers during the high-speed chase, managed to escape.
