"Detectives based at Huruma police station are currently processing the suspect for arraignment," DCI said.
In another incident, police in Kilimani detained a suspect they describe as a frequent offender, after being caught on CCTV committing a crime on Monday.
The suspect, according to the police, is connected to other recent robbery instances that have occurred in the city.

A wave of muggings and daytime thefts hit Nairobi in November as young criminal gangs terrorized city residents with unheard-of brazenness.
However, some of the victims were unfortunate as they tragically passed away after being stabbed.
The police issued a list of Nairobi's crime hotspots in response to the recent wave of crimes, advising the general people to stay away from them at all costs.
