On Saturday night, two police officers were arrested by their colleagues for attempting to rob a car in Nairobi's Eastleigh area.
The officers, Shukri Galgalo of Quarry Police Post in Embakasi and Abdikadir Daiwo of Muthaiga Police Station, were apprehended at Kilimanjaro roundabout after they hijacked a Mazda Demio (reg no KCW 261D) from its driver, Mr Caleb Musumba.
According to a police report, Mr Musumba had dropped a passenger, Mr Stanley Mwaniki, at Mathare's chief camp when the two officers boarded the car and told the driver to take them to Pangani.
However, the car lost control at the Kilimanjaro roundabout and crashed inside the roundabout, forcing the officers to attempt to escape on foot.
They were quickly arrested by members of the public and police officers who were on patrol when the driver raised the alarm.
The two officers were taken to Pangani Police Station, where they are currently being detained, and will be arraigned in court on Monday.
