On Wednesday at 7:30pm, a brazen robbery took place at a supermarket on Wanyee Road in Dagoretti, Nairobi. The incident was captured on CCTV footage, which shows four gangsters arriving at the scene in two motorbikes.
According to eyewitnesses, the gangsters were seen moving from point to point before storming into the supermarket. One of them fired a shot into the air to scare people, causing customers to scramble for safety.
Locals described the scene as chaotic, with people lying down on the ground as the gangsters made their way into the supermarket. The incident has sparked concerns about the rise of robberies in the city, with most cases involving motorbike-riding gangs.
Just a week ago, Nairobi County police boss Philip Ndolo warned robbers that their days were numbered. However, the recent incidents suggest that the gangs are still active and determined to carry out their crimes.
Police are now on the lookout for the four gangsters, who were caught on CCTV footage robbing the supermarket. The incident is a stark reminder of the need for increased security measures in the city to prevent such crimes from happening.
