A 78-year-old woman was robbed of Sh150,000 after she had withdrawn the cash from a bank in Engineer area, Nyandarua County.<\/span><\/p>\n

The woman said she had visited the Equity Bank Engineer branch and withdrew the cash on December 17 morning.<\/p>\n

She then boarded a public service vehicle to her home in Gakorofa village in Mawingu sub-location oblivious of the dangers waiting for her.<\/p>\n

She said after she alighted from the matatu and was walking home a few kilometers away, she and another friend were intercepted by three men.<\/p>\n

The men had been in a salon car that was trailing the matatu carrying the woman, police said.<\/p>\n

The gang, at gunpoint, grabbed her handbag that contained the money and personal documents, jumped back into the car and sped off.<\/p>\n

The woman raised an alarm alerting locals who, using motorcycles gave a chase on the car carrying the suspects.<\/p>\n

According to witnesses, the locals alerted the police who joined the chase on the vehicle, which was heading towards Gilgil general direction.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was intercepted near Malewa Bridge after a tyre burst and the four occupants escaped into a thicket.<\/p>\n

A search was mounted and one suspect was arrested with Sh28,000, police said.<\/p>\n

A mob attacked him as police tried to drive him out of the scene. Police said he sustained injuries in the head, chest and shoulder.<\/p>\n

Upon search of the vehicle, two toy pistols, a pair of handcuffs, a pocket phone, fake number plate stickers and a pair of number plates, which were later, found to be the car’s original number plates.<\/p>\n

The car was towed to the local police station while the suspect was treated at Manunga Health Centre and discharged in stable condition.<\/p>\n

He was later arrested.<\/p>\n

Police say such incidents happen out of collusion with the banks’ rogue staff.<\/p>\n

Other thieves hang in banks to see who transacts and what amount.<\/p>\n

A team is investigating to establish if the victim was set up by people who were in the bank.<\/p>\n

They will review CCTV cameras as part of the probe into the incident, which is the latest in major urban areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
