Sunday, July 5, 2026 -
Police in Nairobi have launched investigations into an armed robbery at
Chaiwali Restaurant along General Mathenge Road in Westlands after CCTV footage
captured two gunmen storming the popular establishment and robbing patrons at
gunpoint.
The incident occurred on Saturday night at around 10:35 p.m.
and lasted less than 30 seconds, according to preliminary reports.
The CCTV footage shows the two armed suspects entering the
restaurant and ordering customers to surrender their mobile phones and other
valuables before making a quick getaway.
The robbers reportedly arrived at the scene on a motorcycle.
Before carrying out the raid, they overpowered the
restaurant's security guard, leaving customers with little chance to resist.
After collecting the stolen items, the suspects fled on the
waiting motorcycle, disappearing before police could respond.
The brazen robbery has sparked fresh concerns over
insecurity in Nairobi, particularly in high-end estates such as Westlands,
where similar incidents involving armed motorcycle-riding gangs have been
reported in recent months.
