Police Hunt Thieves After Two Cash Robberies in Kenya.
A woman lost 3.6 million shillings near a petrol station in Nairobi's Industrial Area on Wednesday morning. The theft happened on Lunga Lunga Road after she took the money from a bank for her business.
She stopped her car to take medicine close to the petrol station. Two men on a motorcycle broke her car window. They wore face coverings and had weapons. They made her give them the money, then rode away fast.
The woman told police about the crime. Officers came to inspect the scene. They found camera pictures that showed what had happened. Nairobi's police leader, George Sedah, said his team wants to catch these bad men.
In another case, robbers hurt a Mpesa worker and took 100,000 shillings in Rongo Town, Migori County. The woman, Faith, had closed her shop and was going home on a motorcycle. At Kasere Market, two men attacked her and the motorcycle driver. One man had a gun.
The robbers took Faith's bag with her work phone, bank machines, and money. They left in a car toward Homabay. Both Faith and the motorcycle driver needed help at the hospital. The driver hurt his chest, and Faith hurt her head. They went to Venesa Medical Centre first, then to Kisii Level Six Hospital.
Police think these crimes happen because someone tells the robbers about people with money. They say bank workers might tell bad people when someone takes out big money. The robbers then wait and follow these people.
Some victims faced worse acts. Robbers took them away and tied them up in empty places after stealing their money. Police see about one such crime each week in Kenya. They ask people who need to move large amounts of money to let police help keep them safe.
The police want to stop these crimes. They investigate each case very closely to find the robbers and keep people safe.
