Hunt on for 4 Highway Robbers Terrorizing Motorists in Makueni
A manhunt is underway in Makueni County for a gang of four armed robbers who have been terrorizing motorists and pedestrians along a major highway. The suspects are accused of staging roadblocks and using violent tactics to rob their victims of cash, mobile phones, and other valuables. Police have launched a sweeping operation to track down the criminals, who have managed to evade capture after several recent incidents.
According to police reports, the gang typically operates during the evening and early morning hours, ambushing unsuspecting travelers along isolated stretches of the road. They are reported to be armed with crude weapons, which they use to threaten and intimidate their victims before fleeing on foot into the surrounding bush. The brazen attacks have created a climate of fear, with many motorists now avoiding travel during peak crime hours.
The Makueni County Police Commander has assured the public that every available resource is being deployed to apprehend the suspects. Security patrols along the highway have been intensified, and detectives are pursuing credible leads. Authorities are also urging motorists to remain vigilant, travel in groups if possible, and report any suspicious individuals loitering near the road to the nearest police station.
