Three suspects accused of defrauding Kenyans through dubious schemes met their downfall on Tuesday after being arrested while attempting to con another victim in Nairobi.

The three were arrested in Nairobi's Kilimani Estate while on their hunting spree.

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) revealed that the suspects had been operating a well-coordinated scheme to defraud unsuspecting Kenyans of their money.

The trio lured their victims by promising lucrative deals, only to vanish once payments were made.
