The clip opens with a calm scene: cars neatly parked and a woman in a black buibui strolling past. She seems completely unaware that a planned robbery was unfolding just metres away.
Among the parked vehicles is a black Nissan X-Trail, later identified as the gang’s suspected getaway car.
Moments after the woman disappears from frame, the SUV slowly pulls out of the parking bay, only to be intercepted by a fast-approaching DCI vehicle that blocks its escape route with precision timing.
How many suspects were arrested?
What follows is a flurry of movement. Armed officers leap out, weapons drawn, and shout clear instructions as they order the suspects out of the SUV.
One by one, the five men and one woman are pulled out, made to lie face-down on the ground, and handcuffed.
Among those arrested is the alleged ringleader, reportedly an Indian national who detectives believe coordinated several of the burglary attempts.
Within minutes, the six suspects are subdued and escorted into custody, bringing the tense scene to an end.
Kenyans praise DCI for swift response

Kevin Yerry Dome
“The lady in black buibui looks she was part of the whole thing or she was the DCI undercover. She was hovering around from the start.”
Mulinge Felix
“Something sensible and worth watching fully. Thank you to the DCI officers. Criminals must face the law.”
