A young couple woke to a shock this morning in Mwembe after thieves broke into their room and made away with goods of unknown value.
The two had gone to a friend’s party in Kisii town and when they came back in the morning they found their house open.
“We were called by one of our neighbors who informed us that our house was wide open. We rushed back and found that thieves had broken into the house at night,” said Hillary Oteri.
The neighbors say they heard people speaking at night outside the room but assumed it was the two who had come back from the party.
“They took our gas cylinder, some clothes, shopping, a TV set, DVD player and a thermos flask among others. We are yet to determine what else was stolen,” said Oteri.
The landlord John Makinda urged them to report the incident to the police station.
“We have had cases of robbery recently and numerous attempts in this plot but we will follow up the matter,” said Makinda.
However, some neighbors believe it was an inside job.
“How did the thieves know that the two were not in? It may be someone close to them,” said Christine Onyango a neighbor.
