The suspects were apprehended in a coordinated, intelligence-led operation by officers from Matisi and Kitale police stations at their respective residences.
According to the National Police Service (NPS), the trio had been linked to several robberies targeting residents in Matisi Rural and Kwa Hamisi areas over the past few weeks.
During the operation, officers recovered a suspected getaway motorcycle, a machete allegedly used to threaten victims, and a pair of jungle trousers believed to be connected to the crimes.
