Kenyans often receive alot of unsolicited messages from criminals operating inside Kenya Prisons Industrial Complex asking them to send money or that they've won a certain amount of money and that they need to call to claim their prize.

Most of these criminals are already incarcerated and therefore hard to deter in that, what more can one do to them to make them obey the law.

However, some work from the outside and they mostly thrive due to the help they receive from security forces in the country.

Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) this evening reported that they have arrested one Robert Mwaura Mwita after conducting an assiduous operation.

The crime syndicate which involves conning unsuspecting Kenyans to send MPESA to Mr. Robert has an accomplice in the guards that work at the various ATM lobbies in town.

In September alone, Mwaura conned Kenyans over Ksh2 million.

Here is how the criminals pull off the heist according to the detectives:
