[PHOTOS] Robbery foiled at Equity Kisumu branch

Police in Kisumu are holding several Equity Bank staffers and customers  in connection with the foiled robbery attempt on the Ang'awa Street branch.

Nyanza regional commissioner Magu Mutindika said most of those held are at the police station to record statements.

He said those who were in the bank will undergo a search and interrogation.

“We are going to do a thorough search and if we find anybody whom we suspect to have been involved in this particular act, appropriate action will be taken,” Magu said.

Some people visited the bank and got inside while others remained outside before the attempted robbery incident at about 11.30am.

A teargas canister was lobbed causing fears and commotion among customers.
