On Wednesday, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arrested a 26-year-old man suspected of fraud in Mulot, Bomet County.
The suspect, Peter Cheruiyot, is believed to have swapped more than Sh400,000 from various Equity Bank accounts last week.
According to the DCI, Cheruiyot's arrest follows a series of fraud cases reported in the area.
During the raid, detectives confiscated several phones and ID cards, and Cheruiyot is currently in police custody for interrogations.
His arrest comes on the heels of a similar case in November last year, where three Ugandans were arrested for allegedly defrauding Saccos in the country, including Safaricom, Bamburi, and Kenya Power's Stima Sacco, of a total of Sh54 million.
