NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 25 — Four more Wells Fargo employees linked to the theft of Sh94.9 million transit cash belonging to Quickmart Supermarket have been arrested as part of an ongoing probe.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) named the suspects as Joel Oyuchi Mweseli (controller/planner) Harrison Mugendi Njeru (in charge of drivers), fleet supervisor Caleb Ouma Okinyi and Ronald Ouma Oluu, responsible for crew commanders.
“After thorough analysis of forensic evidence, detectives pursuing suspects in the November 6 thievery of over Sh94.9 million while on transit by Wells Fargo staffers have today arrested four more suspected accomplices, all employees of the courier and security company,” DCI stated.
The total number of the suspects in custody over the heist now stands at eight with only Sh9,101,300 recovered since the probe commenced.
Four other suspects were arrested at a house in Roysambu where detectives recovered money stashed in jerrycans.
The Wells Fargo employees are believed to have conspired with prime suspects in the heist.
“Besides negligence of duty, the four staffers who are guests of the state for the weekend are believed to have conspired with the two prime suspects (Daniel Mugetha and Anthony Nduiki) who are still at large,” DCI added.
The agency said investigators were still pursuing additional suspects as those behind bars await arraignment in court on Monday, November 27.
