In October, the footage of a daring robbery in Nairobi’s Buruburu estate has been released showing the shocking moment six armed thugs raided an electronics shop last weekend.
The six gangsters casually walked into the store and posed as regular customers before one of them drew a pistol and ordered two customers into another room where the owner of the business is said to have been situated.
The 8-minute video captured the thugs ransacking the store before one of the gangsters dismantled the CCTV camera.
