Two days after a gang of criminals trapped on CCTV cameras harassing Old Town residents of Mombasa County have finally been arrested.
According to the DCI Criminal Directorate, through the twitter page, the gang was involved in the crime, and has 15 robbers .
The five were arrested on Fri, April 22.
Video footage of the 15 youths went viral on social media prompting some Kenyans to demand action.
In the video, the group appears to be attacking two men who were doing their business on April 19, 2022.
Following the incident, a group of officers from the Mombasa Central Police Station, backed by DCI officers of the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) launched an operation to arrest the suspects.
Five suspected robbers caught in the photo were arrested in the Kibokoni, Kikowani and Makadara areas of Mombasa.
The suspects include Noordin Mohamed, Brian Ogutu, Vidich Nzilu, Ahmed Ali and Abdala Mohamed.
Detectives have identified the five as belonging to a recently formed militant group known as the ‘Unchanging’ gang.
“Secret detectives from DCI teams are now on a mission to completely destroy the ‘Unchanging’ gang,” DCI said.
Meanwhile, the remaining thugs who are still free have been warned to either surrender or face the same situation that befell the famous Mathare gang Katombi.
