Four AP officers and three other security guards have been arrested over a Sh4 million theft at a Nairobi supermarket.The four were arrested on Saturday over the theft that allegedly occurred at the Naivas supermarket branch of Mountain Mall.
According to police doing investigations, the decision to arrest the four was arrived at after evidence from CCTV cameras at the mall showed them relaxing while the alleged robbery took place.
“You can tell from the CCTV footage that it was a stage managed robbery" a senior Nairobi detective said as quoted by the Star.
He further revealed that two of the four entered the strong room of the supermarket while the other duo waited outside.
Evidence also shows that the alleged armed robbers had pistols and walked past one armed officer without a initiating a gun fight in an incident that occurred at around 7.45 pm.
According to another officer at Kasarani, the two officers waiting outside the supermarket started shooting some 10 minutes after the said robbers had escaped through a back door.
