Four police officers and two civilians were apprehended for stealing Ksh.2.2 million from a school accountant in Utawala.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspects followed Rophine International School’s accountant from a bank in Utawala on Monday before breaking into his car and taking the money.
According to DCI, the money was intended to pay off salary arrears for casual workers at the school.
