Nairobi County: Four suspected thugs were Saturday night shot dead in a botched robbery at private offices in Muthangari area, Nairobi.

Police say the gang had broken into the offices along Kabaserian Close and managed to steal ten laptops and other office equipment.

Nairobi Police boss Benson Kibue said they were alerted by guards of the incident before they waylaid the gang as they escaped with the loot.

“All the goods were recovered but unfortunately four men were fatally wounded,” said Kibue.

He added they also recovered crude weapons the gang was using in committing the offence.
