Detectives have launched a manhunt for a dangerous and armed criminal gang that carjarked a Ruaka resident on Friday night.
The gang vanished with the man’s Toyota Premio as he drove to his residence in Ruaka One River Apartments.
On his way home from work after a night shift, the victim pulled over by the apartment’s gate, unaware that a gang of three was waiting for him.
“As the gates opened, the driver’s window was suddenly smashed with an iron rod, before two shots were fired in the air from a pistol in an attempt to subdue him,” DCI Director George Kinoti stated.
According to Kinoti, the victim was able to force his way into the parking lot, but this did not stop the gangs’ robbery mission.
“Before he could jump out of the car and scamper into safety, the trio caught up with him and roughed him up before grabbing his car keys and phone. They immediately drove off towards Ndenderu,” he said.
When DCI detectives based in Kiambaa received the report, they immediately went into action and launched a manhunt for the suspects.
A few hours later, detectives discovered the stolen vehicle, which had been extensively vandalized, abandoned in Kagongo village.
Its rear and front headlights, side mirrors, all tyres, nose guard, boot and radio had been stolen.
