Two suspected thugs were on Wednesday arrested at an apartment in Yamumbi, Eldoret, Uasin-Gishu county.
A Glock pistol loaded with seven rounds of 9mm calibre was also recovered.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigation said the two were dragged out of their rented house after refusing to open the door.
Immediately after gaining access, they recovered a firearm, assorted electronic goods suspected to have been stolen, a toy pistol, and a bucket containing cannabis sativa.
“Earlier, the two thugs who were on a motorbike had engaged our men in a hide-and-seek game prompting the sleuths to abandon the chase and lay an ambush on their doorstep, instead,” DCI tweeted.
The detectives raided the home accompanied by their counterparts from the elite Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau.
They added that the suspects are believed to be behind the recent robbery incidents in Eldoret town and its environs.
The two are currently in custody assisting police with investigations.
