Dozens arrested, 2 firearms stolen from a police post in Kiambu recovered

Police in Kiambu say that they have recovered two firearms stolen from Dagoretti Police Post in Kikuyu during the June 25 protests, and arrested dozens of suspects.

County Police Commander Doris Kemey indicated that in total, five firearms were stolen during the attack. 

She added that the AK-47 was retrieved through information provided by a member of the public who noticed a suspicious individual carrying a bulging bag at Gravity Bar in Gahui area.

The trail led officers to the suspect's residence in Njuki-Kirigu area. But upon spotting them, he vanished without a trace. 

Also recovered were an AK-47 magazine, a single live round of ammunition, an anti-riot gun that had been damaged, a pair of handcuffs, a jungle police shirt, assorted knives, and a mobile phone.  All these were seized from four suspects currently in police custody.

Additionally, a TV set stolen from Maehato Police Patrol Base was recovered. The suspect in possession of the TV set is reportedly hospitalised but remains under police guard.

At least 25 suspects connected to the police post invasion have already been charged in court and remanded for 14 days as investigations continue.

Three other suspects are still receiving treatment under police guard in hospital.
