Car parts have in recent days been targeted by a well-organized criminal syndicate, especially on vehicles left for repair at garages.
On March 7, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives from Nairobi DCI Regional Headquarters apprehended three suspects and recovered several suspected stolen cars and vehicle parts in Nairobi.
The detectives were pursuing a vehicle stolen from a garage along Kangundo Road when they nabbed the trio.
“In the case, Matthew Odhiambo Ndacha, Joseph Otieno Ngeso, and Stephen Kabinku Mwangi are believed to have conspired with the yard owner to steal a Toyota Allion Reg. No. KBM 157S whose owner had left it at the Kangundo Road repair shop, before starting to dismantle it for sale as spare parts,” DCI said in a statement.
