Police in Kisumu have nabbed a suspect caught on camera carrying out a daring armed robbery in Bondo last month where an M-Pesa agent was robbed of Ksh.300,000.

In the CCTV footage seen by Citizen Digital, the suspect Hesbon Amoge alias Boss is captured stuffing money inside a bag as his accomplice points an AK 47 rifle at the M-Pesa attendant.

Nyanza Regional Police Commander Karanja Muiruri says the suspect had been on the run since committing the crime on November 19, 2022.

Karanja says police mounted an intelligence operation on Monday that finally led them to the suspect's hideout in Kondele area where he was arrested after being positively identified from the CCTV footage.

The suspect has been placed under police custody in Kisumu pending a handover to Bondo DCI officers who are processing the case.

Karanja says a manhunt is still on for his accomplice who had the AK 47 rifle during the robbery incident.
