Police in Isiolo are in hot pursuit of an armed gang that raided a local pub last night, shooting at a patron on his thigh and inflicting numerous injuries on others before escaping with an unknown amount of money.

Following the 8pm incident, police on patrol received a distress
call from the owner of the bar locally known as “Wazee Hukumbuka" & responded swiftly.

They tactfully approached the scene where an unestablished number of gun-toting villains were roughing up patrons, as they frisked them for valuables.

In a well calculated move that covered
the bar's possible exits, the officers announced their presence and intention to fire if the gang failed to surrender.

Defying the orders, one of the gang members went for the trigger, but before he could make a fatal aim at anyone, a hawk-eyed officer neutralized his efforts
with a single shot that set him sprawling on the floor.

Another aimless shot by an accomplice caused more panic to the revelers, who in a bid to secure a second lease of life took to their heels. Taking advantage of the commotion, the rest of the criminals staged their narrow
escape.
CSI detectives who processed the scene found the lifeless body of the gangster, and several customers who sustained injuries on various parts of the body inflicted by blunt objects.

Medical attention has since been sought for the casualties, as the deceased’s body lies
at a Nanyuki morgue pending identification.

Should you have information on this dangerous gang that is still at large, report to any police station or call our toll-free hotline 0800 722 203. #FichuakwaDCI.
