The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has arrested one Nobert Njeru for fraudulently importing excavators worth over Kshs. 40 million from India.
Njeru is believed to be part of a cartel that hacked emails of a London-based company and placed order for the machines which were shipped from India.
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.
The shipment was done by JCB International who upon delivering the goods contacted the brother company in Kenya for payment- it’s then that they learnt the company doesn’t deal with such goods. Investigations commenced & led to the arrest of the suspect & recovery of Excavators.
