Two suspected robbers have been shot dead by police officers in Nairobi's Kilimani neighborhood, and recovered a pistol, machete, mobile phones, and a motorbike were.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), officers patrolling Tigoni Road near the Naivas chain retail outlet came upon the three-member gang "as they were right in the act."
The two accused thieves were "permanently immobilised" during the subsequent gunfight, while the other fled with gunshot wounds, according to authorities.
"Following the incident, two members of the public who had earlier lost their valuables to the hoodlums were able to positively identify them from the recoveries," the detective in charge said.
The hunt for the escaped suspect is still ongoing.
