Detectives drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Friday, January 10, arrested 14 Kenyans allegedly involved in a Ksh174 million gold scam.
The 14 were arrested along Chalbi Drive within the Lavington area of Nairobi after weeks of surveillance and a relentless hunt for the city's gold scamming ring.
Preliminary investigations conducted by the detectives revealed that the suspects obtained the money after allegedly scamming a businessman from the United States.
According to the officers, acting on forensic-led intelligence, they identified and raided the house where the smelting of 2,820 kg of gold was being carried out.
