The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is holding a man linked to a motor vehicle theft syndicate dealing in car fraud in Nairobi. Mubea is said to have colluded with another suspect to defraud a woman of her car. After their negotiations on the phone, the suspect agreed to buy the car at Sh590,000 and sent Mubea to confirm the car’s condition. “Preliminary investigations indicate that the respondent [Mubea] is a member of a huge cartel where unsuspecting members of the public have fallen prey and have lost their property through such fraudulent dealings,” Kitaka stated. The detective said more time is needed to recover the bounced cheque from ABSA bank Yaya branch.
