A disappointing and daring police constable is now being held behind bars following a burglary attempt at a Chinese company.
Police Constable Silas Kipkoech Kosgei was, on Friday, arrested over reports he broke into the Water Tunnel Construction Company and stole material worth millions alongside three assailants.
The three, Paul Maina Muniu, Peter Ndua Kilele and Ezekiel Maina Mwangi, were nabbed on Tuesday in relation to the incident.
The officer is attached to Kigumo Police Station.
“Police Constable Silas Kipkoech Kosgei of Kigumo has been arrested by DCI Detectives. He’s implicated in an incident of store breaking and stealing at a Chinese Construction company where properties worth millions were stolen,” read a statement from the DCI.
The suspect will be arraigned in court on Monday, April 8.
This follows the arrest of a former General Service Unit officer for allegedly stealing fuel at Thwake Dam construction site.
Makueni police boss Timothy Maina said the suspect was caught siphoning off fuel with a shovel last week.
The contractor is yet to record a statement in connection with the incident.
“We are waiting for the contractor to write a statement but he appears reluctant. We may be forced to release the suspect because, without a statement, we will have a weak case in court,” Maina told reporters
