Bank Teller Accused of Stealing Over KSh 1.2M from Customer and Employer

KAHAWA: An Equity Bank teller, Gilbert Kiptoo Lelon, is facing theft charges after he was accused of illegally withdrawing more than KSh 1.2 million — including KSh 800,000 from a customer’s account and KSh 454,000 from the bank.

The alleged thefts took place on consecutive days, August 11 and 12, 2024, at the Kahawa branch where Lelon worked.

He denied the charges when arraigned in court on Friday and will remain in custody until August 19, 2025, pending the filing of a pre-bail report.
