A 32-year-old Pakistani man who was charged in a Nakuru court with stealing items valued at Sh800,000 and being in the country illegally has been remanded after pleading not guilty.
Mohamed Gazi who on Monday pleaded guilty to being in the country illegally, on Tuesday denied the facts of the case.
Gazi was charged with house breaking and theft charges of property worth Sh800,000, charges which he denied.
He allegedly broke into a house occupied by Gisembe Gisere and stole Sh400,000 cash, and electronic gadgets, including an HP laptop valued at Sh250,000, an iPad worth Sh10,000 and a Samsung mobile phone worth Sh15,000.
He is also accused of stealing three wrist watches valued at Sh20,000 and other assorted items.
Gazi was further charged with handling stolen property after he was found in possession of the laptop, iPad and Sh157,950 cash.
He faced three additional counts of illegal possession of two Chinese passports and a Kenyan passport.
It is said he committed the offences on the nights of December 28 and 29, 2016 at Kabachai estate in Nakuru.
According to the prosecution facts, he allegedly broke into neighborhood houses by opening them using assorted keys and stole the items.
The prosecution alleges that there is something illusive about Gazi which they are yet to determine because his phone calls are to the Saudi Arabia DN and Pakistan and motif not understood.
It alleges that he is a flight risk and danger to people and he must be remanded.
Gazi had urged the court to grant him bond so that he can conduct his case while outside.
However the prosecution said that he had no valid documents for his stay and it would be a flight risk.
Principal magistrate Bernard Mararo ordered that Gazi be remanded pending the hearing and determination of the case.
The court slated the matter for February 14.
