The arrested individuals are Chris Nduni Wamuhu, 24, Moses Njuguna Gachwe, 30, Charles Kaariri Mumbi, 35, and John Ndirangu Ndiritu, 41.

They were apprehended in possession of various stolen items from the supermarkets.

Wamuhu was found at his rented residence with a Hisense fridge, Uken water dispenser, coffee cups, teaspoons, hotpot dishes, and luminac plates. Njuguna was arrested at a house near Kengels club with 22 pairs of khaki trousers, 9 T-shirts, 24 boxers, and sandals.

Kaariri was in possession of a junior bicycle at the time of his arrest, while Ndirangu had six vacuum flasks, a shopping trolley, an LG fridge, and multiple luminac plates and cups.
