The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Banking Fraud Unit have arrested two suspects linked to a nationwide Mpesa theft.
The suspects were arrested at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) just minutes after returning from Zambia, where they had allegedly gone into hiding.
According to reports, the suspects were captured on surveillance cameras at multiple locations where the thefts occurred.
According to the shop owner, the suspects requested to exchange foreign currency for the local currency.
However, after a brief conversation, the suspects left, and the Mpesa attendant later realized that over Ksh.40,000 had been stolen.
Now the suspects are being held at Capital Hill Police Station as the manhunt for other accomplices continues.
Victims have been urged to come forward and record statements with police.
