k24 Digital reported that the mastermind of the heist had booked themselves into the guest house and picked a room adjacent to the supermarket.
It was on Wednesday morning that the hotel staff reporting for duty noticed that there was hole in the wall.

Coincidentally, the guest who is now the prime suspect had already checked out by the time hotel staff discovered the crime.

These are the type of thieves who deserve to get away with the loot…

They’re stupid though, you don’t steal electronics because of serial numbers. That’s the main way he can be linked to the crime especially when trying to sell.

from the size of the Hole, it seems the thief only stole essentials. good for him
must be one of the supermarket workers or one who worked there during construction.

can Tvs relly fit through that hole?
he will have to sell them cheaply to avoid detection.

How did he drill a hole without anyone hearing it?

The police stole the TVs.

think they used a chisel and hammer.
a drill would be too loud unless the hotel was empty and the hotel workers we in on it.

This is bullshit, hiyo shimo haiwezi tosha bega.
Or there’s a bigger hole on the left. Alichimba na silencer?
What is the name of the hotel again? Ni kama lodging

LOw business for lodgings making them almost empty due to Corona providing conducive environment for drilling

That mosquito net suggests it is a dingy hotel, with no cam recorders. How do you leave a hotel room with a tv?

Hotel workers are in the mix, how did the suspect check out with the items, or supermarket management are exaggerating on items stolen

At their best

they worked for it. bahati mbaya hataenda siku mbili. halafu ukute aliiba mizinga.

i believe he used the hole to get in and then opened a door or window inside the supermarket to remove the loot.

These are dim eye thugs we are talking about. Never been the brightest of the bunch. Wouldn’t be surprised they stole the TVs just to impress their shiney eye girlfriends.

juvenile mafwi tucker tucker post

Sioni vile TV ingepita hapo, tumia common sense pia. They probably took off with phones and cash.

:D:D:D
