In a significant breakthrough, law enforcement authorities have apprehended four additional individuals believed to be involved in the Sh94.9 million heist at Wells Fargo, linked to the recent robbery at a Quickmart supermarket. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) confirmed the arrests on November 25, 2023, stating that the suspects were taken into custody following a meticulous examination of forensic evidence.

The newly apprehended individuals are identified as Joel Oyuchi Mweseli, Harrison Mugendi Njeru, Caleb Ouma Okinyi, and Ronald Ouma Oluu—all employees of the targeted courier and security company.

The DCI's statement revealed, "Detectives, in pursuit of those responsible for the theft of over Sh94.9 million from Wells Fargo staff on November 6, 2023, have arrested four more suspected accomplices, all employees of the courier and security company."

Notably, the recent arrests bring the total number of suspects in custody to eight. Among the detained individuals are Joel Oyuchi Mweseli, Harrison Mugendi Njeru, Caleb Ouma Okinyi, and Ronald Ouma Oluu, in addition to the four apprehended earlier. The latter four were taken into custody a few days ago, and authorities were able to recover over Sh9 million during a search at a residence in Roysambu.

However, the main perpetrators of the heist, Daniel Mugetha and Anthony Nduiki, remain at large, and law enforcement agencies are intensifying efforts to locate and apprehend them.

The suspects are currently held at Capitol Hill Police Station, awaiting arraignment at the Milimani Magistrate’s Court scheduled for November 27, 2023. Meanwhile, an intelligence team, led by officers from Capitol Hill Police Station, continues its pursuit of other potential suspects with the objective of recovering the remaining stolen cash.

Sources close to the investigation disclosed that the identification of the suspects' vehicle was made possible through surveillance camera footage on the highways it traversed on the day of the robbery. Additionally, authorities confirmed that the stolen funds, originating from the weekend sales of the Quickmart supermarket, were intended to be transported to the National Bank situated within Nairobi’s Central Business District. Ongoing investigations aim to track down any remaining individuals involved in the elaborate heist.
