A gang of three men and a woman committed at least 20 robberies and shot a police officer in Nairobi in the past one week.

According to the police, the four are targeting victims inside their houses.

On Tuesday, the gang robbed at least four families in Westlands and Lavington.

On Tuesday at around 3pm, the gang entered the house of Ms Priyang Mehta at Amrutha Apartments on Brookside drive in Spring Valley.

They tied the victim together with her mother and househelp before robbing them of jewellery, cash, laptops and other household goods of unknown value. They then escaped using the white Nissan X-trail.

An hour later, the gang used the same vehicle to rob Ms Sharon Clean, an Australian working as a volunteer, in Palm Valley Apartments in Muthangari.

Kiss FM presenter Shaffie Weru was robbed of his valuables by burglars who broke into his posh apartment in the leafy suburb of Lavington.

Shaffie revealed that the burglars who broke into his apartment made away with his costly designer clothes, shoes and electronic items including his TV.

“They took my TV and other portable gadgets. This happened sometime last week, and my house was not the only one burgled.


Avoid the leafy surburbs.

Wachana na wukanLaughing out loudly Laughing out loudly . He/she told us he/she owns nothing anywhere, explaining that he/she only owns land by some mysterious proxy without elaborating. Deep deep down we know he/she is salivating for a piece of the dustbowl. I only wish he/she would tell us more about the paradise where he/she lives.Laughing out loudly I highly doubt it is lavington or Westlands, but I could be wrong :)

Surely I love PYTs I can't be a 'she'(although i think you need to have some umama to appreciate good real estate/aestheticssmile smile ). I don't live in lavi or westi-I have never liked those segregated neighborhoods. I like interacting with kawaida people huko mashinani. The intruders in my hood are monkeys and stray cats.

Fair enough, my broda. Just lay off the dust-bowl bashing smile. There's a reason why Kitengela is Kenya's fastest growing town and Kajiado has been named one of the richest counties in Kenya for many years in a row. Dust bowl is the future, my broda.

Just count the number of SGR passenger stations in existence and to come - Athi River, Tuala, Rongai, Ngong - for starters. SGR will determine Kenya's economic corridor for the next 150 years..ignore its flightpath at your own peril! Chinaman knows what he is doing and doesn't invest hovyo hovyo. Dust bowl has the biggest upside for the least cost hence the rapid influx of kina Mugundaman with big, awkward steps, kifua mbele, panting heavily, into the area.

It really is a no-brainer from an investment perspective. What I especially like about dustbowl is that there is largely an element of controlled development unlike a place like Umoja. Lots and lots of maisonettes on reasonable size plots are the norm the further you move from town core of Kitengela for example. Ngong is even better in terms of the layout of the streets and the developments coming up in its suburbs IMHO. You get the best of all worlds in dust bowl - proximity to Nairobi CBD, SGR access, rapidly emerging infrastructure (roads especially) and for a pocket friendly price compared to other suburbs surrounding Nairobi.

I just hope prices remain reasonable for the next few years so that those who want to invest more can do so. Before an acre starts going for 50 million minimum at the dustbowl in the coming decade. This will inevitably happen, given how much we Kenyans love to breed like rats. All those future hands, eyes and feet will need a place to stay and areas like dust bowl will be ones to provide it.
