The suspects were discovered in possession of two pistols, including one stolen from a police inspector in June 2024. Investigations revealed that the gang’s modus operandi involved targeting nightclub patrons, primarily those licensed to carry firearms. Female gang members would spike the drinks of their victims, rendering them unconscious. Once incapacitated, the women would abscond with their weapons and other valuables. The strike team, consisting of four male accomplices, would then use the stolen firearms to commit crimes in their neighborhoods. However, the gang’s reign of terror was brought to an end after forensic analysis implicated the two female members. A search of the house rented by the women yielded 15 rounds of ammunition. Further questioning led detectives to apprehend two additional suspects in Umoja 3 and a fifth suspect in Huruma kwa Chege. The fifth suspect then guided investigators to a residence in Kiamaiko, where two pistols (Ceska and Falcon) and three live ammunition rounds were recovered. A sixth individual was also taken into custody. “The suspects, including a sixth person of interest, were remanded pending completion of evidence documentation and ballistic analysis,” stated the Director of Criminal Investigations.
