A daring attempt by two suspects to steal 6,000 litres of diesel worth Ksh1.2 million was foiled thanks to the quick thinking of one of the pump attendants.

The DCI exposed the scheme in a statement on Monday, March 24, detailing how the two suspects, who posed as businessmen, attempted to con a petrol station in Kajiado County.

The incident took place around 4 p.m.

on Sunday, March 23, when the suspects arrived at the fuel station with an NPR tanker, which is typically used to transport diesel.
