Police in Nairobi are looking for five thugs who stole a lorry full of PK chewing gum and tyres.

According to NairobiNews the five blocked the Mitsubishi canter belonging to Jihan Freighters company on Tuesday at 7.30 p.m. at Industrial Area near Davis and Sharrif Company.

The thugs, who were driving in an unmarked Toyota Probox, then ordered the driver Charles Mburu and Kenneth Mwangi, a loader, out of the canter into the saloon car.

Police say one of the robbers then took control of the canter which was loaded with 10 tyres and 600 boxes of PK chewing gums that were being ferried to Mombasa.

The driver and the loader were later abandoned at Lang’ata area after being robbed of their valuables.

The canter is yet to be recovered.
