In a separate incident, a mobile snatcher and dealer are expected to be arraigned in court after they were on Tuesday arrested in the Kilimani area of Nairobi.
Police reports indicate the suspect whose phone had been stolen along Kabarnet Road in Kilimani was approached by a group of about ten motorcycles who had pillion passengers and was stopped before being robbed of his phone valued at Ksh23,000.
Officers chased the suspects, who had moved to Joseph Kang’ethe road, and managed to arrest one of the suspects who was among the gang with the help of the victim.
However, his accomplices managed to escape to an unknown destination.
