An Australian man, Benjamin Gsull, residing in Nairobi was, on Friday, arrested by the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) after his house was raided.

"Police had earlier received complaints of attempted housebreaking and were carrying out investigations when they discovered him in the footage.

"He is currently in safe custody and will be charged with being in possession of ammunition without a firearm certificate among other offences," the detectives disclosed.

While carrying out investigations, the detectives discovered him on the surveillance footage and decided to close in on him.

In a separate incident, an armed garbage collector was arrested after pictures circulated in the media showed him on the street with a pistol protruding from his trousers.
