Accomplices of Nairobi's most wanted female criminal Lavender Ogilo arrested

A female criminal described as the most dangerous gangster, behind a sate of robberies in posh city estates was arrested two weeks ago.

Some of her accomplices have been at large since then.

Two more suspects have been arrested over a series of burglary incidents that have happened in Kilimani, Riverside and Westlands areas in Nairobi.

Police say the two are accomplices of Ms Lavender Akinyi who was arrested two weeks ago over the same incidents and described as a gang leader. The two are expected in court this morning to face various charges.

Akinyi was last week charged with several counts of burglary charged together with Tanzanians Shimton Ambasa Khan, Teresa Richard, and Rose Richard.

The prosecution said there were more than 12 other case files in various police stations in Nairobi that would be presented before the court in due course. The four were linked to a spate of robberies in Dagoretti in Nairobi. One was committee on March 23, 2018 at Cullinun Apartments along Nyangumi

The four were said to have broken into the house of Wan Baihui and stolen one laptop, Sh30,000, $100, 600 Chinese yen, and jewellery, among other valuables. Ms Ogilo was released on Sh1.2 million bond with an alternative bond of Sh2.1 million to cover the counts she faced in five files. Khan was directed to deposit a cash bail of Sh500,000 with an alternative bond of Sh1 million while the Richards were ordered to pay a cash bail of Sh100,000 with an alternative bond of Sh200,000.
