Police are holding two suspects concerning the disappearance of Sh8 million, stolen from a Kiambu-based businessman.
The suspects were arrested on Monday in a police operation.
In the incident reported late last month by the businessman’s wife, the money was stolen from a safe hidden in the abandoned pump station at Kinangop in Nyandarua County.
Police said the suspects are believed to have gained entry into the building through the roof before helping themselves with the cash after breaking the safe.
A total of Sh2.5 million has since been recovered from the suspects identified as Moses Cherish and Eliud Wangai after their arrest.
The third suspect David Mushendu is still at large. The suspects face charges of stealing by servants contrary to Section 281 of the Penal Code.
Cases of stealing by servants have been on the rise in the past years.
