This was the case with a loaded Nairobi businessman and a private security guard, who were shot and seriously wounded in a robbery incident in Karen on Sunday night, January 15, 2017.

The man was shot twice in the leg in the raid at his home on 3D Lane, by a gang of four armed with AK 47 rifles.

The robbers carted away gold and mobile phones of unspecified value, and an unknown amount of cash.

According to the police, the four-man gang shot the guard when they arrived, before escaping in a waiting car.

Police said they had launched a manhunt for suspects.

3D Lane residents association chairman David Mereka said they were concerned by the increasing number of attacks on gated communities in Karen.

"We would like police to increase patrols to ensure our safety," he told the Star by phone.

In a separate incident at Pangani, in Nairobi, on Monday, a suspected thug was shot dead in a botched robbery.

The suspect and his three accomplices had been robbing motorists and pedestrians when the alarm was raised.

Police recovered a pistol with two bullets.
