Mystery surrounds the discovery of more than 2,000 live bullets at an abandoned car in Mihango area, Nairobi.
The bullets were found in the salon car that was found near a garage in the area.
Police said they were informed by locals they had heard gunshots from the site and when they arrived at the scene they found the car with bullet holes.
On checking inside the Mitsubishi Lancer, they discovered the bullets stashed in a sack with 34 cartons each containing 60 bullets used for an AK47.
The team that visited the scene said no one was found in the car and they suspect a deal gone sour as the cause of the shooting and abandoning of the motor vehicle.
