“The two, who had been roaming around Timboni and nearby areas, were caught after trying to trick a trader into registering for Till Numbers and Pochi La Biashara. Their plan fell apart when they entered the wrong PIN, exposing their scam. Detectives quickly moved in and arrested the suspects, identified as Alex Mutua Kisulu and Daniel Kioko Wambua,” a statement from the DCI read.
The officers recovered two mobile phomes, t-shirts with Safaricom labels and brands, till number and Pochi La Biashara application forms.
They were booked at the Watamu Police Station ahead of their arraignment to face charges related to fraud.
The police called on the victims of the suspects’ fraudulent schemes to lodge the plaints with the officers at the Watamu Police Station.
