“It was reported by Charles Ntomarianga,31, that he had been attacked by two persons known to him and robbed him of Ksh400 and a pair of Safari boot shoes valued at Ksh2,000,” the report read in part.
It would later be reported by one George Ochieng Onyango,38, who notified the police that two people had been nabbed by locals in Wajir after they were found in possession of a stolen goat valued at Ksh5,000.
Upon arrival at the scene, police found the stolen goat and the pair of Safari boots that had earlier been stolen from Ntomarianga.
It is then that it was established that one of the suspects was a police officer.
The first victim was called and he positively identified the pair of shoes.
