Stolen police rifle. [DCI]
Police in Kitale have recovered a stolen police firearm that was snatched from an officer in Sibanga by an imposter posing as a newly posted officer from Eldoret.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspect, who has since been arrested and is in police custody, arrived on Wednesday and blended in easily, engaging officers while dressed in a police raincoat.
He later requested assistance in finding accommodation within the police lines from the officers at the gate. He then asked to be shown a place to get a meal, where he is said to have offered to carry officers’ belongings.
