On 2016-11-07, Nyakundi Report notes that an unspecified amount of money, suspected to be in the millions of shillings, was stolen from Equity Bank’s Kayole branch in Nairobi over the weekend.
The theft was carried out after the suspects drilled into the bank, according to the source material. No further details were provided on how the break-in was discovered, whether arrests were made, or whether the bank issued a public response.
The incident adds to the long-running concern over the security of banking premises in busy Nairobi estates, where criminals have previously targeted cash holdings and other valuables through forced entry and covert access.
