Senior police officer arrested as DCI probes theft of vehicle parts at police station in Kisii: Detectives attached at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Kisii are investigating a case involving the alleged vandalism of vehicles impounded at Nyanchwa Police Station in Kitutu Central and the illegal sale of their parts.
For instance, a report details the recent impounding of a lorry, Reg. No. KBT 651, at the precinct, which was involved in a road accident along the Kisii-Oyugis Road
Traffic officers directed the vehicle to be towed to Nyanchwa Police Station pending further investigation.
However, the lorry’s owner visited the station and discovered that parts of the vehicle were missing, prompting concerns among DCI officers.
DCI officers then made their way to Denmark area along the Kisii-Oyugis Road, where a local spare parts dealer was found with the missing lorry parts.
The dealer allegedly acquired the stolen parts, worth half a million shillings, for a meagre Ksh.18,000. He has since been arrested, alongside a senior officer from the station, who has been linked to the incident.
“This is a sad situation and we shall not protect anyone, because we have good officers doing a commendable job but for this, we must act and allow the law to take its course,” Nyanchwa OCPD Kazungu Charo stated.
