TWO FRAUDSTERS ARRESTED IN FAKE NPS CALLING LETTERS SCAM

Law enforcement officers at Parliament Police Station have arrested two con artists who have been targeting desperate job seekers by peddling fake National Police Service (NPS) calling letters in Nairobi.

Evaline Jepchirchir Rotich and Jane Chepkonga Chelanga were taken into custody after complaints from members of the public, many of whom were swindled at the busy Kencom area. The duo is accused of luring victims with promises of guaranteed jobs before taking their hard-earned money.

Acting on reliable information, officers conducted a quick operation that led to the suspects' arrest and the recovery of Sh330,200 in cash from their possession, believed to be proceeds of their scam.

Further questioning revealed a new lead, taking detectives to Upper Hill, where a third accomplice ran away upon noticing police presence, leaving behind a Mazda Station Wagon with the registration KDV 862D. Inside, officers found two more fake NPS calling letters, indicating a wider racket.

The suspects are currently in custody, undergoing processing pending arraignment. Meanwhile, the abandoned vehicle is being held as exhibit, as the search for the fleeing accomplice continues.
