Kajiado Central detectives, alongside detectives from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau based at DCI Headquarters, have nabbed three suspects linked to the audacious theft of a Scania lorry, registration number T260T CGS.
The lorry, loaded with maize worth Sh1.7 million, was en route to Nairobi’s Industrial Area from Tanzania.
As detailed in a police report filed on March 19, 2025, the theft occurred when the lorry’s driver parked at Maduka ya Juu in Kajiado.
Accompanying him was a woman physically known to him, who had joined the journey at the Namanga border.
While the driver briefly stepped away to use a nearby restroom, he returned to find the woman holding two soft drinks.
After consuming one, he began feeling drowsy and fell asleep inside the vehicle.
When he regained consciousness the following day, he found himself lying on the ground, with both the lorry and the woman missing.
Swift investigations led to crucial forensic breakthroughs, culminating in the recovery of the lorry stripped of its cargo and abandoned in Embakasi.
Derefa ameuza mzigo and is now looking for scapegoats. Zamani derefa walikuwa wanaangusha lori after kuuza mzigo kumbe siku hizi wanauza na wanajifanya ni mchele wamewekewa. Also there is a huge warning kwa mlango ya lori that “The driver is not allowed to carry any unauthorised passengers”.
