Police in Maralal town, Samburu County are investigating an incident in which a businesswoman was robbed of Sh800,000.
The woman who operates an electronic and M-pesa shop in Kisma Trading Centre told police she was closing the establishment when a group of six men, two armed with firearms and others with crude weapons forced their way in.
They assaulted the victim and her two employees before they grabbed a handbag containing the cash and two mobile phones.
The gang then fired into the air as they escaped using motorcycles that were waiting in the Tuesday October night drama.
Police believe the gang had prior information on the money hence the attack.
A probe is ongoing to get the gang and recover the weapon, police said.
In Baragoi, Samburu, gunmen staged an attack at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) camp in Latakweny and escaped with property.
