Robbers Disguised As Lab Technicians Steal From Medical Centre

According to victims and police, the men who were disguised as lab technicians allegedly arrived at the hospital on two motorcycles, on Wednesday at around 1 pm.

Two men dressed in white lab coats alighted and went into the premises pretending to be in need. They then ordered present staff members and patients to lie down.

Their accomplices joined them and the gang demanded money and other valuables, including 15 cell phones and an unspecified sum of cash. After collecting the items, they rode off on motorcycles.

Police looked at the CCTV footage of the gang's movements and actions and are following up on promising leads in the case.

The police said further urged victims of the incident to cooperate with them so as to identify the suspects.

The police have connected the gang to a number of incidents and are in pursuit of them.

The attack is the most recent in a string of assaults related to political lawlessness in the area.

Nairobi Police Chief James Mugera stated that police patrols have been increased around the city to reduce violence associated with the current election campaigns.
