THREE IN CUSTODY OVER FUEL THEFT
Kenya Railways and Port Police have arrested three individuals implicated in the illegal act of siphoning fuel from train wagons at the Sultan Hamud Railways Station.
The culprits, locomotive driver Nicodemus Keya, security guard Mutunga Mwanzia and Geoffrey Irungu were caught red-handed after vigilant publics tipped off authorities about their illicit operation. Responding swiftly, police officers stormed the scene and seized two 20-litre jerrycans and two 18-litre water dispenser bottles filled to the brim with stolen petrol.
As the train remained at the Sultan Hamud Railway Station, waiting for a new driver to take over, the three individuals were promptly escorted to Emali Railways Police Station, where they are undergoing processing pending arraignment.
The National Police Service remains firmly committed to combating fuel theft and all forms of economic sabotage through sustained vigilance, swift action, and strong public partnership.
