On May 8, 2021, a brazen robbery took place at Tuskys Supermarket's Karasha branch on Kenyatta Avenue in Nairobi. A staffer, armed with a knife, stole Sh320,000 from a cashier.
According to eyewitnesses, the cashier had gone to the branch's safe to collect the day's collection at around 7 pm. The suspect then pulled out a knife and forced her to surrender the cash.
Police detectives investigating the robbery visited the scene and found that the incident was not captured by surveillance cameras. The CCTV server at the supermarket had been destroyed.
As the investigation continues, more Tuskys employees will be questioned this week. Nairobi police boss Augustine Nthumbi confirmed that no arrest had been made as of Monday, May 10, 2021.
