An Iranian is being questioned by the police after he was found taking photographs of five star hotels in Nairobi.
Initially he identified himself as Turkish but the officers who seized him on Thursday found him with an Iranian passport.
Security officers at The Sarova Stanley Hotel alerted the police when they spotted him taking shots of the hotel as well as those of nearby Hilton Hotel.
The hotels are on Kimathi Street in the Central Business District.
The 38-year-old suspect is likely to be handed over to the anti-terrorism police unit for further interrogation.
His actions raised suspicions especially after he gave false information regarding his nationality.
Separately, gangsters raided a supermarket in Mlolongo, off Mombasa Road and snatched Sh150,000.
The three men, one with an AK-47 rifle, entered the store at around 7.30pm on Thursday and ordered attendants and customers to lie on the floor as they robbed them.
Two of their accomplices who had remained outside attacked a woman at an adjacent M-Pesa outlet, and took Sh50,000 from her.
The robbery was executed in less than five minutes, said the Embakasi division police commander David Bunei.
