Authorities believe that the suspect disposed of the guns which had been taken from police officers guarding the bank.
“The firearms were dropped by a motorbike passenger at Kiambu Hospital’s Gate shortly before the motorbike disappeared into the darkness,” DCI George Kinoti said.
Police are yet to locate the motorbike which ferried the suspect to the scene where the guns were found.
The investigation is being conducted by a team of DCI detectives from the headquarters, Embakasi and Special Service Unit officers.
During the robbery, a private security guard sustained injuries on his right arm.
