The suspected robber is believed to have grabbed a lady's handbag and decide to seek asylum in the nearby bank due to a crowd chasing him. The crowd who were after him are camping outside the bank to wait for him and this had forced the bank to close its doors.
The man approached me and requested that I help him with some money. Minutes later, however, a man standing beside me informed me that the suspect had stolen my pouch bag. I had Ksh4,500, my bank cards, and a bunch of keys in that bag." Ramla Mghenyi, the woman who he stole the bag told the media.
Residents in the area have complained that cases of theft have become more frequent in the area and called for the government to help. Finally, the suspect was caught and taken to the Central Police Station in Mombasa.
