According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Kelvin Baraza Andayi alias Kevoo, Titus Mutuku Maingi alias Tush, and Jack Wilshere Kimathi alias Jack were arrested after a ‘well coordinated police operation’.
They are linked to a robbery with violence incident that unfolded at Sanergy Limited Company EPZ in Kinanie, Athi-River on February 23, 2025.
During the said raid at the company, the trio is accused of rounding up workers, assaulting them with ruthless force and holding them hostage.
“The employees were left battered and bound as the robbers made off with their loot: a fridge, a microwave, two lorry batteries, two backloader tractor batteries, and a generator, which they loaded into a waiting pickup before vanishing,” DCI said, adding that their two accomplices are still on the run.
Detectives reported that after the incident, forensic clues led to a rented house in Kamulu, where the ringleader, Kelvin Baraza Andayi was arrested.
“A search of his hideout turned up a Beretta pistol, a pocket phone, beige and green tactical trousers, six assorted SIM cards, and other incriminating items,” DCI said in a statement on Monday.
Andayi is said to have led detectives to where his accomplices, Maingi and Kimathi were.
Pending arraignment of the suspects, police are pursuing their accomplices as recovered items are detained as exhibits.
