Police are looking for a gang that Saturday night carjacked a matatu and robbed passenger of their valuables before dumping them in Dandora area, Nairobi.

The matatu was headed for Pipeline estate when some of the passengers later turned out to be thugs and commandeered the bus towards Dandora.

Police say no one was injured in the incident. The robbery is the latest in a series that have happened in the recent months in which passengers have been targeted.

Police have asked matatu operators to always screen their passengers as part of measures to curb the crime.
