No arrests yet after daylight robbery at former GSU Commander's residence

Police are yet to make any arrest following the daring daylight robbery at the home of retired Senior Assistant Inspector General Renson Lolmodooni at Kitengela Police Sacco Estate on August 16, 2026.

The estate, with its slogan "Serene and Secure," was infiltrated by thugs who made off with boxes of money. Police bosses in the area refused to comment, referring inquiries to police headquarters.

According to police reports and witness accounts, the suspected gang gained access to the upscale residential estate, which houses both serving and retired police officers, by disguising themselves as worshippers heading to a prayer meeting.

Two men and two women arrived at the estate's main gate around midday and told security personnel they were members of a local church, a cover that did not raise any red flags at the time.

The estate, bought by Police Sacco in the 2000s, is considered one of the most secure residential communities in Kitengela, perhaps holding the highest concentration of licensed gun holders in the rapidly growing town.

Once inside, the criminals used cutting tools to force their way into Lolmodooni's residence. The former GSU Commander retired from the position in June 2025 after a two-year tenure.

The robbery took a violent turn as the gang attempted to flee. A security guard moved to block their vehicle at the main gate after an alarm was raised. Witnesses say one of suspects, described as an unmasked, average-build, middle-aged man, attacking the guard with punches and kicks before striking him on the head with a stick.
