Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Detectives based in Mombasa are looking for thugs who held a police boss at gunpoint and robbed him of his firearm in the middle of the busy coastal town.<\/p>\n

Reports indicated that on Monday night, September 20, Mombasa Urban Sub County Police Commander, George Bamba Kingi, was heading home in his private car when a Tuktuk blocked him on the road.<\/p>\n

The thugs are said to have forced officer Kingi to alight from his car, whereby one of the suspects held him at gunpoint and ordered him to surrender his firearm, a Jericho pistol.<\/p>\n

The other two suspects stole the pistol, loaded with 15 rounds of ammunition, that was holstered on his waist. The thugs then fled towards Likoni.<\/p>\n

“A multi-agency team responded after the police boss raised alarm. The officers combed the area, but nothing has been recovered,\u201d a police report stated.<\/p>\n

County Regional Police Commander Manaseh Musyoka condemned the act noting that police officers were working round the clock to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book.<\/p>\n

Further, he called upon Mombasa residents to come forth with any information regarding the incident, adding that there was a hefty reward for anyone who would assist the police in recovering the gun and capturing the suspects.<\/p>\n

“The suspects, who were all armed, then ordered him to surrender, and since he feared for his life, he cooperated with them.”<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone with information that can assist us to recover the gun to share the information in confidence and there is a reward for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the recent past, thugs have been devising nifty tactics in a bid to carry out their hatched scheme and evade justice.<\/p>\n

From staging heists in wealthy neighbourhoods to robbing police officers, perpetrators are going to extra lengths in order to follow through with their plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
