Police are holding two guards in connection with the shooting of a 32-year-old man at a private residence in the Spring Valley area, Nairobi.
This is after a gang dressed in security guards' uniforms raided a private home on Tuesday night and stole jewelry valued at Sh100,000 along Kitisuru Road on Tuesday night.
Witnesses said both of them were wearing facemasks and one was armed with a pistol.
They first got hold of a guard on duty by pointing the gun at him.
They then went to the parking yard and found the son of the owner of the home who was parking his vehicle and commanded him at gunpoint to open the door.
They then gained entry and commanded them to lie down together.
It was then that they shot one Nikit Arun on the right side of the chest and escaped through the fence leaving the uniform they were wearing behind.
This was after they had grabbed the jewelry and realised the victims were identifying them.
The victim was rushed to MP Shah Hospital.
Police said one spent cartridge of 9mm was recovered from the scene.
Police said two guards who were on duty have been arrested to help in investigations. The detectives suspect it might have been an inside job.
