A minor accused of posing as a police officer while committing a crime in Meru town has been released on Sh50,000 cash bail.
The 17-year-old was charged in court alongside a mechanic identified as Alex Mwiti alias Kashada.
The duo was in the company of two other suspects who escaped arrest on the night of April 25 at a Go Down in Meru town.
Both appeared before Chief Magistrate Stella Abuya and denied the charges.
The court was told the two resisted arrest by police officers Bashir Hussein and Vincent Kadiga, prompting the officers to fire in the air to scare the suspects.
Mwiti and the minor denied having a government store, namely jungle jacket belonging to National Police Service suspected to have been stolen or unlawfully obtained for use in criminal incidents.
State prosecutor Fridah Mbaya told the court police officers were on patrol when they ambushed the gang.
