     In the latest incident, it has been reported that the gang, on Sunday night robbed from two bars and finished their operation with the home of an mpesa attendant where they vanished with more than Ksh. 70,000.
     The suspect was flushed out of hiding, before being frogmatched to Soy Police Station where he has been remanded, pending investigations. The officer in charge thanked the members of the public for not taking the law into their hands by giving the suspect to them.
     Meanwhile, Grace, the Mpesa attendant who fell victim of the gang has been discharged from Moi Teaching and Refferal Hospital, Eldoret where she was being hospitalized after she was hit at the back of her head by the robbers.
     The recent wave of attacks has left residents fearing for their lives, and have since demanded that the issue be addressed with immediate effect. 'We need patrol officers at night at our service', said Naima, Soy resident.
     She added that if the ills are not curbed at early stages, then they'll mature to bigger problems which will be harder to solve.
