Sunday, November 8, 2026 - Detectives from Nanyuki have arrested three suspects linked to a motor vehicle theft syndicate and recovered a stolen Toyota Probox that was being driven to Uganda.
The arrests follow a series of motor vehicle theft incidents
in Nanyuki and its environs, prompting detectives to intensify investigations
and pursue suspected members of the criminal network.
The suspects have been identified as John Nderitu alias
