Sleuths from DCI have arrested a man who vandalised Safaricom telecommunication equipment calculated to be over 2 million.
The detectives said Lenny Ng’ang’a, who has been masquerading as a Safaricom engineer was arrested by police and the equipment confiscated.
Ng’ang’a is said to have been carrying out illegal maintenance missions and had gained access to a transmitter station in Murang’a after convincing the guard to let him in.
The guard became suspicious of the man’s activities and alerted police officers who immediately rushed to the scene.
The suspect however managed to escape by jumping into his vehicle and speeding off but was pursued by the police.
The suspect surrendered after some kilometers, and the police recovered telecommunication equipment from his car which is suspected to have been vandalized elsewhere.
The suspect’s motor vehicle was impounded and he will be arraigned on Monday.
