Led by the flying squad boss Musa Yego, about 30 armed officers stormed the palatial home of Anna Mutheu at 11pm on Monday night in an operation that lasted until Tuesday midday.
They questioned several people including members of her family and workers in connection with suspected links to motor vehicles stolen in different parts of the country.
On Tuesday morning, local residents milled around the scene of operation after learning about the dramatic raid of ‘Dr Mutheu’s’ home by the heavily armed officers who a drove into her compound in seven saloon cars.
During the 15-hour operation, Mutheu could be seen strolling from one end of her compound to another as officers watched her closely.
