Police are looking for six suspects in the Unaitas bank robbery that happened Saturday, March 11.
In a police report, the incident happened at 9:00 am when two thugs first attacked two officers – Martin Munguti and Daniel Mwangi – manning Unaitas bank, Mununga branch, Kigumo in Murang’a county.
The thugs are said to have been dressed in black private security uniforms with reflectors.
While pretending to be hawkers, they approached the guards and started wrestling before four others – two a***d with AK-47s and two with crude w*****s joined them and overpowered the guards to surrender their firearms.
One of the a***d robbers would later shoot the ground near Mwangi’s legs however he managed to pull out his r***e magazine which he threw in the bush nearby.
On the other hand, Mungutu was hit with a metal on his h**d forcing him to surrender his firearm.
