He further added that the son of Gikaria had also been mentioned over links to the dreaded criminal gang which has been terrorizing Nakuru residents.
In the past few days, the gang has been linked to robberies and chilling murders, prompting the police to launch a crackdown in the area.
On Saturday night, 27 suspects were arrested in connection with the spate of armed robberies that have been reported in Nakuru city in the last few days.
Crude weapons including machetes, clubs, swords, metal rods and pieces of wood were recovered from the thugs, who have left Nakuru residents living in fear of being attacked.
