The DCI tweeted the below.
EXCAVATORS worth Ksh.43Million were today recovered at Changamwe by #SCU Detectives after being fraudulently shipped from India. The shipment happened after fraudsters hacked the email of a London-based Company & placed an order for the Machines. ONE suspect; Nobert Njeru arrested.
