DCI Detectives based at Langata are investigating a case of stealing from a locked motor vehicle.
In a statement dated Monday, October 16, DCI noted that a member of the public lost cash and valuables worth hundreds of thousands to car breakers in Nairobi West.
According to the detectives working on the case, the suspects used another car with fake number plates where they identified their target before pouncing.
DCI noted that the suspects target individuals who have withdrawn money and left in cars or those carrying expensive valuables such as laptops and phones.
“The victim fell in the hands the notorious gang that has been terrorizing Nairobi residents after he left the cash that he had withdrawn from the bank, a school bag, a laptop and his mobile phone inside his motor vehicle and went to a supermarket only to return and find all of them missing,” DCI stated.
“Preliminary investigations have revealed that the thugs are operating in a motor vehicle that has fake number plates to hide their tracks but detectives are burning midnight oil to bring them to book,” the statement added.
Detectives appealed to the public to share information that would lead to the arrest of the suspects caught on CCTV.
