Dare-devil Kisumu thugs on the run after carting away Ksh 1m

Police have launched a thorough manhunt after three gunmen Saturday stormed a shop in Kisumu County and made away with large sums of money. 

The armed gangsters raided Kavirondo Fishnets Sundry and Hardware near New Victoria Hotel from where they hauled Ksh 1million.

The robbers who arrived on motorbikes brandished their guns at customers and attendants and gained entrance into the shop.

They also escaped using a standby motorbike to an unknown location. 

Police have launched a manhunt for the suspects who are on the run. 

Several police units have been mobilized to track down the criminals who carried out the daring daylight robbery.

Authorities state that the identity of the gunmen was hard to establish even though they were captured on CCTV cameras because they wore helmets. 

On Saturday, an undated video emerged of a woman who was robbed at gunpoint in Mombasa County. 

In the video, the men, three in number, are seen walking past the woman as she tries to complete a transaction at the money agent. 

Two of the men turn and head for the woman with one reaching for his gun.

As the two men surround the woman, their counterpart disappears from the frame.

One man takes her handbag as the other brandishes his gun. The woman is clearly in shock as she does not put up a resistance.

Their counterpart comes back into the frame having fetched a motorcycle which they casually board and speed off.
