Detectives from Nairobi DCI Regional Headquarters who were pursuing a case of a stolen motor vehicle from a garage along Kangundo Road have recovered several suspected stolen cars and motor vehicle parts at a yard in Utawala Estate, Nairobi.
Three suspects believed to be members of a well-organized criminal ring that targets vehicles left for repair at garages were also rounded up in the operation, which was augmented by a team from DCI Kayole.
In the case, Matthew Odhiambo Ndacha, Joseph Otieno Ngeso and Stephen Kabinku Mwangi are believed to have conspired with the yard owner to steal a Toyota Allion Reg. No. KBM 157S whose owner had left it at the Kangundo Road repair shop, before starting to dismantle it for sale as spare parts.

The others include three unidentified Toyota Probox cars, a Toyota station wagon chassis CE107-5008143, rear lights for the dismantled KBM 157S, eight box lorry containers, a Mistubishi truck, assorted vandalised engine parts, ten sets of vehicle registration plates, a Toyota Allion fixed with a Toyota Premio bonnet and boot and fixed with registration plates KBY 146F.
