Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested three notorious robbers over a robbery incident that occured on February 23, 2025 at Sanergy Limited Company EPZ in Athi River.
In a statement on Monday May 12, 2025, DCI reported that Kelvin Baraza Andayi alias Kevoo, Titus Mutuku Maingi alias Tush, and Jack Wilshere Kimathi alias Jack, were arrested after 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,” read part of DCI report.
On that day, armed with crude weapons and joined by two accomplices still on the run, they stormed the facility.
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.
