They first sneaked the truck out of the company's Nairobi offices shortly after the money box was loaded.

A well-choreographed plan by two security officers of Wells Fargo saw them corner a police escort and go missing with millions that were to be deposited to a bank. 

Even as DCI detectives are pursuing them, the two earlier on Monday disappeared with Sh94 million after dumping the company vehicle at Dafarm in South C, Nairobi.  

DCI has now revealed details of how they succeeded in their mission.

By that time, neither the truck nor the crew members could be traced.

A report by the company's Investigations Manager indicated that the Isuzu Canter was destined to a bank located at Nairobi's Kenyatta Avenue, ferrying the Sh94 million belonging to a renowned Quickmart supermarket.

Police in Lang'ata were mobilized to pursue the daring duo, only to trace the empty truck abandoned in South C.

A special operations team has since been deployed to pursue the suspects.

DCI has now appealed for information that could lead to their arrest.
