Detectives are investigating an incident where a house girl stole a pistol with 40 bullets and cash from her employer in Nairobi’s Kileleshwa area.
The house girl had been left alone in the house on Monday November 3, 2025 when she stole the valuables.
The owner of the house on Nyando Close is a licensed firearm holder.
He told police he and his family had left their house for errands but when they returned they found the portable safe missing from his bedroom wardrobe.
The safe had the Glock pistol with two magazines, USD1,950, Euros600, Sh5,000 assorted jewelry, land titles and other electronics.
The woman escaped with the safe in a carton. Security cameras at the compound captured her as she walked out with the carton. The guards on duty said they thought she had been sent somewhere.
Police said they are making efforts to trace the woman for grilling and possible recovery of the weapon and cash.
There are fears she may sell the weapon for criminal activities.
Meanwhile, police in Bondo, Siaya County are investigating an incident where four armed robbers attacked and robbed a man of cash and gold.
The victim had been to a local shopping centre for gold and was returning home when he was attacked by the men who were armed with knives and AK47 rifles.
They gained entry to the house through the kitchen door, police said.
The gang also assaulted the wife as they demanded cash and gold from the man, police said.
They then robbed the couple of gold valued at Sh90,000, Sh40,000, two mobile phones and other valuables.
Police said the gang escaped on a car that was waiting outside the compound. Efforts to trace the gang are ongoing, police said.
