Three National Police Service constables and a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) corporal have been arrested over the recent robbery of Sh72 million that was being loaded into an ATM by G4S officials.
The incident occurred earlier this month at a Standard chartered bank ATM in Nairobi West, when Administration Police officers escorting the cash brandished guns and took off with the money
Police investigations show it was a well-planned robbery that involved officials the G4S officers, who have since been arrested and charged alongside other APs involved and who were found with part of the loot.
“We have arrested four more suspects linked to this robbery, and all are security officers,” George Kinoti, the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said.
Those arrested, he said, are a KDF officer from Kahawa Barracks and three Administration Police officers–including a couple.
They are Simon Gichuru Karuku of Thika, Caroline Njeri Waithira of Thogoto Sub County and Florence Wanjiru of Githurai Police Post, police said. the first two are a couple, while the third is Simon’s sister.
Kinoti said investigations have shown that the couple had sought to apply for an anticipatory bail through an advocate.
And following interrogations, Kinoti said, the suspects have identified the fifth person who is being sought after escaping with an unknown amount of money. He is a boyfriend to one of the officers.
Soon after the robbery, three Administration Police officers were arrested in Kisii and Homa Bay and Machakos and some of the money recovered. They have since been charges.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
