Details of the movie-style bank heist in Thika point to a well ochestrated deal to rob the bank.

Inestigations have revealed that the main suspects in the Sh50 million KCB Thika branch gave fake identification details to the landlord when they rented stalls adjacent to the bank in June.

A source privy to investigations said police have now narrowed to the suspect's phones.

“This was a very elaborate and well-orchestrated plan that the police are following up on. The police are also tracking their phones,” the source said.

The theft has left many puzzled on how two 'innocent-looking' traders would pull such a record-theft.

“It is now obvious that those night shifts were cover-ups,” a resident said over reports the traders had been seeking permission to carry out repairs at night.
