Detectives from Kisauni Sub-County have apprehended two suspects, Emmanuel Mugodo Sabwa, 42, and Erick Maingi Muimi, 34, in connection with a stolen vehicle.
The silver Toyota Axio, bearing registration number KDP 289B, was initially reported stolen at Buruburu Police Station in Nairobi. Acting on forensic intelligence, investigators tracked the car to the Utange area, where they found its tracking device discarded about 20 meters from a perimeter wall enclosing the compound where the vehicle was located.
Upon inspection, officers discovered that the vehicle had been fitted with a different registration plate, KDA 348V, and its front dashboard was partially dismantled—suggesting an attempt to either resell it quickly or strip it for parts.
Additional recovered items included various car keys, dismantled vehicle trackers, a key programming device, license plates (KDJ 885G, KDP 289B, SSD 763A, and KCT 278Y), two logbooks corresponding to vehicles KCU 527H and KDA 348V, and an HP laptop.
The suspects are currently being held at Mjambere Police Station as they undergo processing ahead of their arraignment. Meanwhile, the recovered items remain in police custody as evidence.
