Two Security Firm Employees Disappear with Supermarket’s 94 Million

In the backdrop of Monday's police manhunt for two guards accused of absconding with Sh94.9 million intended for delivery to a bank in Nairobi, it was disclosed that the funds originated from a vault under the jurisdiction of a security firm in the Industrial Area. The intended destination was a bank in the Central Business District, and the incident transpired around 6 a.m.

The two individuals, who were aboard the company's vehicle, arrived at the vault as scheduled but departed without a police escort. Authorities realized the absence of the vehicle and cash moments after it had left.

The abandoned vehicle was subsequently located in the Dafam area of South C, adjacent to the southern bypass, with the suspects and the missing money nowhere to be found.

Senior police officers arrived at the scene and confirmed the two had fled in a waiting vehicle. The police characterized the incident as a new development and suggestive of an inside job.

Furthermore, the officers initially tasked with escorting the vehicle involved in the heist are being questioned as part of the ongoing investigation.
