The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), on Thursday, October 3, uncovered a syndicate of car robbers based in Tanzania.
The daring criminals reportedly stole 3 cars and a motorbike from Muthangari Police Station in Kenya and ferried them across the border and into Tanzania.
According to their statements, the DCI carried out a 4-day covert operation in Tanzania in a bid to nab the entire network of robbers
They announced the recovery of three motor vehicles, as well as a motorcycle stolen during the daring heist.
"Detectives in a Four-Day Operation there. Recoveries are; KCH 608S Toyota AXIO, KCV 145L Toyota ISIS, KBU 418C Mitsubishi Lorry(FH) & KMEM 280Z Red BOXER," DCI announced.
The vehicles were duly ferried back to Kenya, with DCI revealing that they were tracing the vehicles back to their rightful owners.
Interpol detectives were roped into the investigations as well, with DCI officers claiming the car-theft syndicate had a global reach which they used to sell off their loot.
