Five suspects have been arrested after they robbed an M-Pesa shop in Huruma area and later tried to attack police with a hand grenade. The police officers chased them using motorcycles and intercepted them at Drive-in Stage along Thika road on Monday night. But seeing that the officers were on their trail, one of the suspects threw a hand grenade to the officers and headed towards Mathare. Officers from GSU guarding Dela Rue joined the search and managed to recover one self-propelled hand grenade, a black Range Rover, five flash disks and three mobile phones. The arrests come after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations arrested four members of a gang that has been terrorising residents of Kilimani.
