Directorate of Criminal Investigations on Tuesday, September 3 2019, unearthed a car theft syndicate and arrested two suspects.
The Kasarani based detectives raided a go down in Kariobangi South. Car parts including Engines, doors and number plates were recovered.
The detectives stated that the raids followed interrogation of three other suspects that had been arrested earlier.
Other reports revealed that the detectives conducted another raid in a warehouse in Kayole and recovered more spare parts.
The two godowns are said to be owned by the same individual who escaped the laid trap.
The sleuths revealed that the cartels stole vehicles from Kasarani and its environs, drove them to the godowns and dismantled them for spare parts.
