Three Standard Media Group journalists were arrested on Wednesday after police found a stolen car they were traveling in.
The car had been registered as an uber and the journalists had allegedly hired it without knowing that it was stolen.
Jennifer Wachie a photojournalist narrated the ordeal stating that several police officers surrounded the vehicle and asked the driver to pull over.
The three were then requested to step out of the car as the officers inspected the vehicle.
"We did not think at any point that the car was stolen. We thought that the driver may have caused an obstruction or something else, but not theft. It is normal for us to use uber for our assignments," she added.
The three were then escorted to Pangani Police Station as prime suspects in the case and it took the intervention of the senior police for them to be released.
Later the Police did clarify that the car was stolen at the port of Mombasa even as the driver claimed that he had driven it for three years and later claimed that the car belonged to his brother.
