A Toyota Land Cruiser stolen from a businessman in Machakos has turned into
one of the most bizarre police sagas of the year, linking armed robbery, a
cross-county manhunt, and the arrest of eight officers accused of betraying the
very oath to protect property.
The ordeal began on September 10, 2025, when the
businessman, who owns a supermarket in Machakos Town, was driving along the
Machakos–Kangundo road toward Kamulu.
