Police in Eldoret have arrested three suspects involved in armed robberies in the town.
They also recovered a pistol and a motorcycle used by the suspects in the robberies.
The suspects had rented a house in the town as their operating base.
Uasin Gishu county police commander Benjamin Mwanthi said they had been trailing the suspects who were arrested in the rented house in Baharini area.
"They have been terrorising residents, especially within Elgon View estate and other areas," Mwanthi said.
He said they also recovered more than 40 mobile phones suspected to have been snatched from residents.
Among the three suspects is a man who runs a mobile phone repair shop in the town where the stolen phones were flashed and sold.
"We urge residents who may have lost their phones to visit the Eldoret central police station and identify them," Mwanthi said.
Mwanthi who was with county DCI boss Daniel Muleli said two of the suspects were from Nairobi but had rented the house in Eldoret since March.
Muleli said the suspects had been identified using cameras installed in several areas.
The gun had so far discharged six bullets and Muleli said it would be subjected to further investigations.
