Several suspected stolen vehicles and car parts have been found in a yard in Nairobi’s Utawala Estate by detectives from the Nairobi DCI Regional Headquarters who were investigating a case involving a stolen vehicle from a garage along Kangundo Road.
The operation, which was assisted by a team from DCI Kayole, also resulted in the arrest of three suspects who are thought to be part of a well-organized criminal ring that targets cars that are left for repair at garages.
It is suspected that Matthew Odhiambo Ndacha, Joseph Otieno Ngeso, and Stephen Kabinku Mwangi colluded with the yard owner to pilfer a Toyota Allion Reg. No. KBM 157S, which its owner had left at the Kangundo Road repair shop, and then begin disassembling it in order to sell it as spare parts.
After storming the yard, various items, including the alleged Toyota Allion, were found. Peter Mwangi Njuguna was nowhere in sight. A mistubishi truck, ten sets of motor vehicle registration plates, three unidentified Toyota Probox cars, a Toyota station wagon chassis CE107-5008143, rear lights for the disassembled Toyota KBM 157S, eight box lorry containers, various vandalized engine parts, and a Toyota Allion fitted with a Toyota Premio bonnet and boot are among the others.
In order to identify further members of the criminal conspiracy, the suspects are being questioned.
