Published on June 13, 2020, a couple, aged 25, was arrested in Kikuyu after their vehicle was linked to a string of armed robberies.
The grey Toyota Noah was impounded by police along the Southern by-pass near Kikuyu town after the public was warned that the vehicle was being driven by armed robbers.
According to the police, the occupants, two men and a woman, had altered the vehicle's registration number and were pretending to be lost in order to rob their targets.
However, upon interrogation, the suspects, who claimed to be a couple, denied that they were robbers and said they were trying to evade the vehicle's owners.
They claimed to have hired the car from a city trader but delayed to return it as they were yet to complete their errands.
DCI Chief David Tuksho stated that his unit was tracing victims who may have been robbed and that they were not convinced by the suspects' explanation for altering the vehicle's number plates.
