END OF THE ROAD FOR TRIO OF TERROR

A reign of terror has come to a screeching halt as three notorious robbers, Kelvin Baraza Andayi alias Kevoo, Titus Mutuku Maingi alias Tush, and Jack Wilshere Kimathi alias Jack, now sit behind bars, thanks to a well-coordinated police operation.

The trio were arrested after a painstaking probe that traced their footsteps back to a robbery with violence incident that unfolded at Sanergy Limited Company EPZ in Kinanie, Athi-River on February 23, 2025.

On that day, armed with crude weapons and joined by two accomplices still on the run, they stormed the facility like a pack of wolves on the hunt. They rounded up workers, assaulted them with ruthless force, and held them hostage. The employees were left battered and bound as the robbers made off with their loot: a fridge, a microwave, two lorry batteries, two backloader tractor batteries, and a generator, which they loaded into a waiting pickup before vanishing.

Determined not to let the miscreants slip away, Athi-River detectives launched a meticulous manhunt, piecing together forensic clues that led them straight to a rented house in Kamulu, arresting the ringleader, Kelvin Baraza Andayi.

A search of his hideout turned up a Beretta pistol, a pocket phone, beige and green tactical trousers, six assorted SIM cards, and other incriminating items.

Cornered and out of moves, Andayi led detectives to Gimu in Athi-River, where his accomplices, Maingi and Kimathi, were swiftly apprehended.

The trio are currently undergoing processing pending arraignment as detectives pursue more leads to bring to book more suspects still at large.

Meanwhile, the recovered items are securely detained as exhibits in the ongoing probe.
