Two businessmen who claimed that the value of the stolen construction Items stated in the charge sheet was way much exaggerated stating that they only stole six pieces of metal bars have been released on bond.
“Pinoriya Naran Shiuji and Rabadiya Shanjay are said to have committed the crime on September 28 at the Santiago Holding construction site located off Raftah road in Kileleshwa.” reads the charge sheet in part
The duo failed to agree on the details of the charge before Principal Magistrate Sharon Maroro.
But a security officer at the company said that Shanjay’s car was captured on CCTV leaving the site, full of the construction materials in two different incidents.
The security official who had procured enough materials for the construction at the site realized that there was a shortage.
Some of the materials were missing from the site.
He inquired from Shionji who was the site manager and no one could account for the lost items.
The official decided to have the case investigated and that was when the CCTV footage was reviewed.
From the footage, it was seen that the materials were moved out of the site on August 18 after a vehicle drove into the site while carrying nothing and while it was leaving the premise, it had been loaded and covered with canvas.
The official realized that the materials stolen were worth Sh1.5 Million.
During investigations, it was established that the vehicle captured leaving the site with materials belonged to a company owned by Shanjay.
Maroro entered a plea of not guilty for Shanjay and Shionji after disagreeing with the charges and released them on a bond of 1 Million each. The case will be mentioned on October 19.
