Police in Nakuru are searching for a suspect who allegedly stole Sh1.5 million and a loaded pistol from a policeman’s car in Gilgil town.
Bernard Nderu, an officer based at the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) headquarters in Gilgil, was robbed of the money and firearm while taking his lunch at a local hotel on Monday, according to a police report.
He had earlier visited the KCB Bank branch within the township and withdrew the money before driving to Calvina Hotel to have lunch. He parked his Toyota Double Cabin pickup truck outside the hotel.
While taking his lunch, Nderu heard his car’s alarm beeping and looked outside and saw “an unknown African male breaking into his car driver’s door using a duplicate key.”
The officer said the thief made away with a bag containing Sh1.5 million in cash and his Ceska pistol that was loaded with 15 rounds of ammunition.
The suspect then drove away towards Naivasha in a white Mazda car registration number KCZ 815H.
Gilgil OCS Albert Kipchumba said officers visited the scene and have since launched investigations as a manhunt for the suspect continues.
The matter is being handled by Gilgil-based Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives.
