Kericho County detectives are hunting down three men who violently robbed a 21-year-old woman at a PSV as she traveled home last night.
According to Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the woman had at 9pm boarded a 7-seater black Toyota Wish at a stage opposite Kipchimatt Supermarket, bound for Chepseon area of Kericho.
"Opting for the vehicle whose make is popular for transport in the county, the young woman found three male occupants, a driver and two others whom she believed were passengers like her.
"However, it was a matter of time before the trio turned her holy day of worship into a dreadful experience," police said.
Picking no more passengers, the driver rolled his wheels towards Chepseon direction, before asking for the lady's fare after covering a kilometre.
Hardly had she gone for her purse when one of the suspects grabbed her by the neck, ordering her to surrender her smartphone and all the money she had.
The chocked and terrified victim complied, whereby the malefactors threw her from the vehicle at Duka Moja area and sped off.
"Good Samaritans who found her in excruciating pain administered first aid to her, thereafter reporting the odious incident to the police," police said.
