Detectives drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested two businessmen owning a garage where 16 stolen motorcycles were recovered.
In a statement on Sunday, the Directorate revealed that the motorcycles were recovered at a building along Juja Road during a raid on Saturday at 8:00 p.m.
The detectives were drawn from Muthaiga Police Station and DCI offices in Starehe.
"Sixteen suspected stolen motorcycles were recovered last evening by police officers based at Nairobi's DCI Starehe and their uniformed counterparts from Muthaiga Police Station, in an intelligence-led operation conducted at Leswags Motor Parts Thayu S.S. Petrol Station along Juja Road," DCI stated.
"Two suspects, Dominic Otieno Omollo and Antony Kagimbi Kanyoro, in whose garage the said motorcycles were found were also arrested in the 8 pm raid."
The motorcycles have since been processed and documented as exhibits at DCI offices in Starehe.
The suspects were detained by the officers and are set to be arraigned at Makadara Law Courts on Monday, March 25.
The arrest comes two months after a multi-agency team of officers in Eldoret arrested a 26-year-old man with a stolen vehicle.
The authority revealed that the vehicle belonged to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The man was arrested at his residence in Race Course Estate within Eldoret Township after the White DMAX was stolen from DCI in Kondele.
"A multi-agency team comprising of officers from DCI Kondele and DCI Turbo yesterday evening managed to arrest one suspect aged 26 years at his residence," the security agency said in a statement.
He was held at DCI offices in Kondele as investigations while the recovered items were also seized as exhibits.
