It was an interesting Thursday morning for police officers manning a roadblock at the Eveready Junction on the Eldoret-Nakuru highway.
The officers reportedly flagged down a sport utility vehicle after receiving information that the occupants of the vehicle were armed and dangerous.
But the driver refused to stop leading to a high-speed chase that ended about 5km from the Eveready Junction as boda boda riders gave police back up.
