A cashbox was also retrieved from a woodland near Gataka Market in Karen Estate.
Ongoing endeavors are being made to locate, apprehend, and reclaim the remaining pilfered funds.
The legal proceedings are currently underway, with the Regional Criminal Investigations Office in Nairobi persisting in their investigative efforts.
According to reports, Anthony Ndiuki and Charles Mugetha were inside the company’s vehicle and departed without police escort.
After committing the heist, they abandoned the vehicle in the Dafam area South C, near the southern bypass.
The police noted that the heist had been carefully planned, as the suspects discreetly left the company’s headquarters without the usual police accompaniment.
The initial alert about their suspicious departure came from Administration Police (AP) officers who were originally assigned to accompany them.
In response to the AP officers’ alarm, the firm’s investigation manager promptly informed the Akila Police Station in Lang’ata about the incident.
It’s worth noting that security companies offer cash-in-transit services to banks and businesses involved in significant financial transactions.
