A middle-aged man is awaiting his fate after being found guilty of sneaking into a police line and stealing a car rear door.
Ishmael Muchiri pleaded guilty to the charge when he appeared before a Makadara law court on Wednesday.
Makadara Resident Magistrate Steve Jalang'o ordered a probation report before he could deliver the sentence.
According to the prosecution, the accused sneaked into the Buru Buru police residence and stole the car door valued at Sh10,000 which belonged to the Officer Commanding Station Joseph Muturi.
The court heard that the suspect was seen carrying a luggage inside the residential area by officers who then pursued him and nabbed him on May 9.
In his statement, the police boss said that he was waiting for a mechanic to fix the door when Muchiri stole it.
Magistrate Jalang'o announced that the case will be mentioned on June 3.
A similar incident happened about a month ago when another suspect was sentenced to serve three years in prison for stealing Sh270,000 from a safe at the Pangani Police Station.
Oliver Wanyama was sentenced at the Milimani law courts on April 12 for the offence he had earlier denied.
