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.

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.

The three suspects were identified as PC Japhet Fondo, PC Bob Otieno & APC Michael Mwangi.
