Burglars made away with Ksh 50 M
SUMMARY
  • Kenyans are still coming to terms with the well-organized robbery of Ksh 50 million from KCB Thika.
  • The three suspects arrested in connection with the incident are said to operate a stall close to the bank where they dug a connecting tunnel from.
  • There are suspicions that the three might have had an informer from the bank.

Three suspects, two men, and a woman have been arrested as suspects to the grand Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) theft.

The three allegedly accessed the bank's strong room through an underground tunnel and made away with Ksh 50 M on Sunday, November 19.


The three, who are said to have moved to Thika only three months ago disabled the bank's internal alarms and sensors.

They dug the roughly 70 cm (2.3 ft) square and running 4 meters (13 ft) tunnel in the eyes of Kenyans in the pretense that they were a landscaping company selling both natural and artificial grass as well as other plants.

Those who testified said they saw trucks of soil being carried away but they dismissed it as usual business.

The suspects are said to own a stall from which the tunnel originated and police suspect they used the oxy-acetylene flame to drill holes into the safes. 

According to a bank manager, they learnt of the robbery after they found the strong room open. He however assured clients that their money was intact.

"Customers seeking to transact can do so at any other KCB branch or access services through our mobile and internet banking platforms," a statement from the bank read.

Kenyans, as usual, had something to say about it, with many expressing disbelief in the incident;

I think this is what they mean when they say HARD WORK PAYS. Guys dug their way to riches at KCB Thika. pic.twitter.com/W2mJI44b8F— Dr.Jesse (@YishaiYishai) November 20, 2017

50M stolen from KCB Thika. We are 45m if the thieves decide to give each Kenyan 1M they will still remain with solid 5 M

Y'all thought Prison break was complicated, you will not believe how thieves stole Sh50m from KCB, Thika branch. To make it even more suspicious is the fact that this bank branch is near a police station. pic.twitter.com/E88rd2cj4y— The Trend Setter (@Ugaman01) November 20, 2017

If those thieves who robbed KCB Thika ever get arrested,they should be given a contract to construct Pipeline and Donholm estate sewer lines and that will end the menace of raw sewage along Outering road.The tunnels they dug to get into the strong room was lit.— Kenipedia (@KennDanaus) November 20, 2017
