Two notorious thugs were gunned down as two more got away with fatal gun wounds during a fierce shootout with police officers at an ambush in Nakuru’s Umoja Estate.
The four are suspected to be running a notorious gang that has been terrorizing residents of Nakuru central Sub-County with violent robberies.
Following a tip-off, A joint ecurity team conducted a sting operation in the Umoja Estate area where the four-man gang was ambushed and ordered to surrender. But in defiance, they opened frenzied fire on the officers triggering a retaliation in self defense.
The operation led to the recovery of a LIAI rifle loaded with four rounds of ammunition, a panga, dagger, hammer, a pair of pliers, balaclavas and spent cartridges.
The bodies of the felled suspects were moved to Nakuru Annex Morgue awaiting identification while the two others are being persued.
