Saturday, January 27,
2024 - Following a spike in reported cases of stealing of
motor vehicles from various residential and social parking yards within the
Nairobi region and neighbouring counties, detectives drawn from the Nairobi

who upon interrogation led the officers to Kenyatta Road in Juja where his
accomplice George Kimani Wangechi was also arrested with a suspected stolen

On further interrogation, the suspects confessed to have earlier stolen
a red Isuzu DMAX within Kayole, which they sold to a buyer in Nyeri through one
of their accomplices by the name of Stephen Kamau Maganjo.
The team proceeded to Narumoru where the said vehicle was
recovered while being driven by Antony Wanjohi Theuri, who was also arrested
and escorted to DCI offices in Nairobi.

Boniface Gitemengo Gachanja, was cornered and arrested within Githurai, who led
the sleuths to Limuru's Flyover area where his partner in crime Josphat Ikua
Mwangi was arrested.
