Authorities have arrested eight police officers from Maseno Police Station in Kisumu County over the mysterious disappearance of a motor vehicle from the station’s yard.
The officers, now held at Kisumu Central Police Station, are accused of stealing a Toyota Land Cruiser that had been recovered and parked at Maseno police station after being abandoned at Maseno shopping centre on September 10. The vehicle later went missing under unclear circumstances.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Nairobi carried out the arrests on Monday evening. The officers in custody include Constables Shaban Omar, Stanley Kosgei, Fredrick Lubatse, Harrison Muchiri, Charles Mutahi, Jackson Lugadili, Elphas Sigoi, and Isaac Kipgeno.
The suspects remain under interrogation as investigations continue, with further action expected once the probe is complete.
