A lawyer and two other suspects were last night arrested when DCI detectives broke a multi-million fraudulent online car dealers syndicate that purports to operate in Mombasa.
The lawyer, Moses Owino Angelo, and George Tsuma were arrested in Mombasa. The third suspect,
Charles Kipsang Koech alias Charles Brian Koech alias Ibrahim Merrali was arrested in Naivasha.
This is after two people had filed a complaint at DCI Kasarani of having been swindled after making payments for vehicles they had seen posted on an online market place,
According to DCI, Investigations have established that Charles Kipsang is the kingpin of the racket.
One buyer reported he was led to a car yard on Nairobi’s Ngong road to view a Toyota Probox. After making the full payment, he was abducted and dumped in the city center.
Another buyer paid a deposit through Mpesa for a Land Rover. The vehicle was never delivered.
We appeal to members of the public who may have fallen victim of the syndicate to report to DCI Kasarani for further police action.
