Detectives from the DCI’s Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau have arrested six suspects believed to be behind a wave of violent robberies targeting missionary camps in Kajiado Town and surrounding areas.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the notorious gang’s most recent attack occurred on August 8, 2025, when they stormed the Korean Mission Camp (MCK) in Elerai Village, Mashuru Sub-County.

On the fateful day, the assailants — armed with crude weapons — dressed in police jungle fatigues fatally injured a watchman. Investigators handling the case have since linked the group to similar violent robberies in Kimana, Mashuru, Wote, and other areas.

“Following the attack, detectives launched an intensive manhunt and on August 19 2025, they arrested Muoki Mulee in Kitengela and Ambrose Mutuku near Machakos Junction,” the DCI reports.

Upon interrogation, Ambrose is said to have led the officers to his residence in Kitulu Village, Machakos County, where they recovered police jungle uniforms believed to be used by the gang in their criminal escapades, along with KSh49,000 in cash.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that both suspects are jailbirds having been released from Machakos Prison in December 2024.

The operation was further widened to Kantafu in Matungulu Sub-County, where four additional suspects were arrested: Dominic Moenga Mwambi, Joseph Mamai, Gideon Nyaga Njeri and Alex Mwaura Waweru.

Detectives also impounded three vehicles with registration numbers KDJ 066S, KCX 851Q and KDP 825D, believed to have facilitated the crimes.

The six suspects are currently in custody, undergoing processing ahead of their arraignment.
