A woman has gone into hiding after she was caught stealing ‘sukuma wiki’ at her neighbor’s farm.
The incident happened on Saturday at Bomorenda village Bonyaoro, Bochari Kisii County.
The owner of the farm identified as James Moenga said he was inspecting his farm when he saw a suspect only identified as Magata stealing kales.
"It is shocking that the woman I trusted to run my farm is the one who has been stealing from me," said Mr Moenga.
He said that the suspect immediately he saw him approaching her, she fled leaving behind a sack full of the vegetables.
He said that he raised alarm but locals did not succeed in getting hold of her.
Area assistant chief Charles Ayuma said that area nyumba kumi officials were in pursuit of the lady.
He said that it was not the first time the lady was being linked to theft.
"We shall take action against her and ensure that she learns her lessons. The fact that she is a widow does not guarantee her to steal," said Mr Ayuma.
