Police have arrested four suspects who were found in possession of plastic toy guns(revolvers) in Nairobi.
During their early morning patrol on Wednesday, along Kenyatta Avenue, the authorities got hold of the four male suspects.
This follows a tip-off from members of the public who had observed one of the individuals brandishing what appeared to be a firearm.
The officers then followed the lead and intercepted their motor vehicle at a petrol station.
“Upon searching the vehicle and its occupants, officers recovered a plastic revolver, six rubber bullets, and a knife marked 'AK47,” noted the police.
