Police have arrested two men with one AK47 rifle, 128 rounds of ammunition and two hand grenades in Merti, Isiolo County on Sunday night.
The Bomb Disposal Unit and Anti-Terrorism Police Unit pursuing the case are interrogating Abdi Fatah Ibrahim and Yusuf Mohamed regarding the possession of the weapons.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said that detectives patrolling Duma-Yamicha Road intercepted a Toyota Probox occupied by the two suspects.
The DCI said, “Spotting two suspicious vehicles both make Toyota Probox, the joint team of officers from DCI Merti and Yamicha Police Post signaled them to stop, but instead the two vehicles sped off.”
Two occupants in one of the cars– Reg. No. KCY 576H–opened fire at the officers after a hot pursuit. Consequently, there was an exchange of rapid shots in self defense.
The duo was cornered and were forced to surrender as they were cornered.
Five magazines and 9 magazine pouches; a military jungle belt; two mobile phones and several pen knives were discovered during a search in their car.
