Four suspects, Fabian Ochieng Ndubi, Fredrick Wanyingi, Kevin Adote Onyango and Phil Scholten, are in police custody at Kibera Law Courts after they were arrested for allegedly breaking into a parked vehicle of a businessman at South C Rumi Estate in Nairobi and getting away with Ksh.50, 000.
Using the CCTV footage from both scenes, the DCI said that Forensic analysts at the Imaging and Acoustic Unit traced and identified one of the suspects who led them to his accomplices.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), says that the suspects faced three counts of conspiracy to commit the crime of stealing from a locked motor vehicle and made malicious injury to the property.
The police says that the incident was well planned and organized crime, the DCI recorded the four trail a businessman after he made a bulk transaction of Ksh.350, 000 at Equity Bank Nairobi West Branch.
“Detectives would later unearth in this particular case that the male victim halted his Mercedes Benz at the Equity Bank Nairobi West Branch at around 2.30 pm, where he withdrew Ksh.350, 000 meant for payment of his workers at a construction site,” the DCI said.
The DCI says one man shattered the driver’s window and stole Ksh.50, 000 since the businessman had alighted with the larger sum of KS 300,000.
The DCI says, the entire syndicate had been nabbed and the two motor vehicles used in trailing victims were detained together with the recovered tools of the trade including the catapult and nine spark plugs.
