The manhunt for suspects accused of vandalizing and robbing Chieni supermarkets in Nyeri and Nanyuki counties during the nationwide protests has led to the arrest of four more suspects.
On Thursday, the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said that the four suspects were arrested at various locations in Nanyuki and discovered possessing some stolen goods.
Chris Wamuhu, 24, was detained at a rental residence and discovered possessing a stolen Hisense fridge, Uken water fountain, coffee cups, teaspoons, hotpot dishes, and luminaire plates, among other items.

Moses Gachwe, 30, was discovered in another residence, and 22 pairs of khaki trousers, 9 T-shirts, 24 undergarments (boxers), and sandals were retrieved.
"In the outskirts of the town at Asian Quarters, 35-year-old Charles Kaariri Mumbi was also arrested with a junior ride bike, while John Ndirangu Ndirirtu, 41, was found with six vacuum flasks, a shopping trolley, an LG fridge and several luminarc plates and cups," said DCI.
The four will join other suspects already in police custody as cops pledge to crack down even further on the offenders.
