Sunday, November 9, 2025 - A crackdown on
highway robbers along the Eldoret–Malaba Highway has landed two suspects in
police custody, following a stealth operation by officers from Matete and
Webuye Police Stations.
The duo, William Simiyu and Byron Werunga, are believed to
be part of a ruthless gang that has been preying on innocent motorists in a
series of late-night ambushes that left travellers terrified and property lost.
After days of discreet surveillance, detectives finally
moved in, arresting the suspects before they could stage their next attack.
Upon interrogation, the pair led officers to their hideouts
along River Nzoia and Nabuyola Village, where a cache of stolen goods was
recovered.
Among the items retrieved were three 6kg gas cylinders,
assorted electronics, and vehicle batteries, all believed to have been looted
from motorists attacked along the busy highway.
The suspects are now cooling their heels in custody as
officers wrap up investigations ahead of their arraignment.
Meanwhile, security patrols have been intensified along the Eldoret–Malaba Highway as officers tighten the noose on the remaining gang members.
