Dashcam video exposes trick thieves use to steal headlight washers in Nairobi in broad daylight



Thursday, January 29, 2026 - Motorists have been warned to remain vigilant after a dashcam video emerged showing a new tactic petty thieves are using to steal headlight washers from vehicles in broad daylight.

In the footage, which has been widely shared online, a suspect is seen pretending to cross the road at a zebra crossing, forcing an approaching motorist to slow down and stop to give way.

Moments later, the individual approaches the vehicle under the guise of wiping the windscreen, a move seemingly intended to distract the driver.

The suspect is seen attempting to tamper with and remove the car’s headlight washers before walking away.

The video>>> serves as a reminder of the evolving tactics used by petty criminals and the importance of staying alert, even during daytime driving.
