Two Arrested After Chinese Nationals Were Robbed Sh800,000, Expensive Valuables

DCI detectives have arrested two men in connection to the attack that saw 11 Chinese nationals lose valuables worth thousands of shillings.

The 8 pm incident happened at a go-down site in Makadara, last Sunday.

According to the DCI, the Chinese nationals working at a construction site had finalized the day's activities and were having dinner in one of the structures when they were attacked by a group of 8 men.

"As they were enjoying their meals, 8 mean-looking men armed with all sorts of crude weapons forced their way into the structure," DCI said.

It is there that they robbed the Chinese nationals of their valuables including Sh800,000, mobile phones, laptops and other valuables.

"The miscreants then forced the terrified men into their resting places where they were ordered to lie down as they ransacked every inch of the rooms. They managed to make away with Sh800,000, 8 mobile phones, 2 laptops and a bag full of valuables all valued at Sh200,000," he said.

During the incident, three of the victims sustained slight injuries to their limbs.

The two arrested men are guards suspected of colluding with the criminal gang to gain entry into the premises and are under interrogation.
