3, 2025 - Detectives have arrested a suspect who, while posing as a taxi
driver, stole over sh 500,000 from his customer on the night of August 8th,
2025 in Lavington, Nairobi.
The arrest of the suspect, Fred Atandi Morara, by DCI HQS
detectives yesterday followed a report by the male complainant, who alleged
that on the fateful night, a random taxi driver hired to drop him off at an
airbnb within Lavington had stolen his phone and transferred over Sh 500,000
from his accounts.
According to the report, the complainant was leaving a
social joint in the company of a friend, and was in the process of requesting
for Uber services when the suspect who waited nearby beckoned and convincingly
offerred more competitive charges.
After dropping them off, he disappeared with the phone and
managed to transfer the monies to different accounts which were later
deactivated.
Morara was arrested operating a Mazda Demio fitted with
suspected fake registration plates, KDQ 810B, with another spare set
registration number KDN 993Q.
Also recovered from him were assorted mobile phones, several
sim cards and a sisal rope.
He has been handed over to DCI Dagoretti for further processing.
