A police officer is among two suspects arrested on Monday over the theft of a motorcycle in Machakos town.

Police say the motorcycle’s owner had parked it outside a building in Machakos Township while he went into a shop to purchase items.

Upon returning, he discovered that his motorcycle was missing.

Further, a police report indicates that the owner immediately sought help from members of the public and reviewed CCTV footage from the area, which allegedly captured two suspects stealing the motorcycle.

“The two were later physically identified by members of the public as Martin Mbuthia and Moses Ngatia, who is a police officer attached to Machakos Police Station, after they were cornered by members of the public.”
