The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers engaged in a chase along the Naivasha highway with a driver who is suspected to have stolen a vehicle.
While on patrol, the officers came across a vehicle that had foreign number plates and instructed the driver to stop his vehicle. However, he declined to stop, going against their instructions.
It is at this point that a chase ensued between the DCI and the suspect near weigh-bridge after which he abandoned his vehicle and disappeared into the bush.
The DCI are probing the matter so that the suspect can be brought to book.
