TRIO IN DIESEL THIEVERY ARRESTED

DCI News / Sat, 05/25/2024 - 19:12

Three suspects have been arrested for stealing 600 litres of diesel belonging to Kenya Union of Savings & Credit Cooperatives (KUSCCO) Ltd by illegally siphoning the fuel from its reservoir drums into plastic jerrycans for disposal.

Acting on intelligence report, hawkshaws from the Operation Support Unit intercepted a Mitsubishi pickup Reg No. KBL 054D at KAA Estate adjacent to Wilson Airport, where the driver and two KUSCCO employees were arrested and the fuel seized.

After interrogating the suspects, detectives established that the two KUSCCO employees (John Kioko, 41 and Michael Kioko) were deployed to safeguard the Sh107,460 worth of fuel drawn from Mbagathi Way Total Petrol Station, meant for the company's generators stationed at its Upper Hill offices.

But driven by the sheer greed for quick cash, the Kioko's conspired with Gabriel Ngeta, 48, to rob their employer, only to hit a cul de sac before the deal bore a penny.

About

The establishment, development and growth of Criminal Investigations Department can be traced to the evolvement of the Kenya Police to which it remains one of the key formations. The first police officers were recruited in 1887 by the Imperial British East Africa Company, I.B.E.A. to provide security for stores in Mombasa. It was from these humble beginnings that the Kenya Police was born.
