Criminals
use different tricks each time to carjack and rob motorists in Nairobi. It is good to try and unmask their tricks
before many motorist become their prey. From
our continuing segment of how criminals operate, http://www.arrivesafekenya.com/2015/02/tricks-thugs-use-to-carjack-and-rob.html below are more of the tricks
they use to carjack and rob motorists in Nairobi.
Ø
These
criminals strategically wait for the victims along roads heading to a nearby hospital.
For instance there was a case between Mutindwa and Caltex along outer-Ring; a
couple pretending to be seeking for help to get to Mama Lucy hospital. The woman was pretending to be pregnant and
in labor then a motorist volunteered to help them only to find out that they
were both men and no pregnancy. They
forced him to take them to his home where they robbed him of his households.
Ø
Another
case is around Nyayo estate where an elderly man would fake a broken leg,
carried by two men and when you try to assist they carjack and rob you of your
belongings.
Ø
They
have also come up with tactics of dressing up like supermarket attendants and
will wait for you as you are leaving the supermarket. One guy will run after
you trying to alert you that you have forgotten some of your items; unknowingly
the rest of them will probably be in a car parked nearby waiting to attack. As
you stop to check they quickly jump on you, carjack and rob you of your cash
and belongings.
Tips
o
Avoid
giving lifts to strangers; especially those who look vulnerable like the
injured, sick, old, pregnant or with an infant.
If
you feel it is a genuine case, just drive to the nearest police point and let
the police do the helping.
