Suspect Arrested for Posing as Traffic Cop to Rob Bank Customers
DCI arrests suspect linked to series of bank robberies
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has arrested a suspect accused of posing as a traffic police officer to rob bank customers.
Muia Mutune, also known as Fredrick Mbuta, was arrested in Embakasi Village following investigations into a series of robberies targeting unsuspecting victims who had withdrawn cash from banks.
Modus Operandi
The suspect and his accomplices would wear traffic police uniforms to stop people leaving banks, using the authority associated with the uniform to carry out the robberies.
Detectives used intelligence gathering and forensic analysis to identify the suspect, who had previously been arrested and released on bond.
The DCI is still searching for other suspects linked to the cases, who remain at large.
