DCI detectives dismantle reservoirs in Siaya used for holding siphoned fuel before being sold to unsuspecting Kenyans.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has announced the dismantling of a syndicate that illegally siphoned fuel and sold it to unsuspecting Kenyans.

The detectives camped in the Sindindi area along the Kisumu-Busia Road, where the bootleg oil business had picked up.

According to the investigative agency, the suspects capitalised on tankers involved in accidents.

They had pumps and a reservoir into which they would store their loot awaiting sale.

After noting the illegal business, the DCI deployed a team from the Operation Support Unit to pursue the suspects.

The aim of the operations, the DCI said, was to curb the siphoning trend that has time and again occasioned tragic infernos, and to eradicate the sale and distribution of adulterated fuel.

A group of suspects were arrested as the DCI cleared their station of operation.

The DCI cautioned Kenyans against undertaking such ventures due to the dangers linked with it, urging them to embark on other legitimate businesses.
