Nairobi, Kenya: Police are looking for a gang that raided a private residence in Runda area, Nairobi and robbed the family of Sh4,000 and other valuables. The gang jumped over the fence, tied the guard and shot dead the dog that had confronted them.

They then robbed the family, police said. No one was injured in the incident.

Nairobi deputy police boss Moses Ombati said the gang was infuriated by the dog’s harshness and decided to kill it.

“They went ahead and robbed the family but no injury was reported. Efforts to get them are ongoing,” said Ombati.

Nairobi is experiencing an upsurge in crime and police have responded to the situation by killing most suspects.
