If you think that your vehicle is safe parked in the streets, think twice. Kenyans have been left in question after a CCTV footage documenting a daylight car break-in robbery went viral. In this footage, a man is seen breaking into a parked vehicle and leaving with goods of unknown worth. As this was happening, bodaboda operators were captured, fully oblivious of the occurrence. The perpetrators of this crime were not in a hurry.They proceeded with their plan in a relaxed manner. This happened in broad daylight, in streets full of civilians going about their businesses.
This is how they did it: the culprit first tried to access the car through the driver’s door. However, he realized that he couldn’t unlock it.He therefore opted for the left passenger’s door which was most likely unlocked. He broke into it without breaking a sweat. Thereafter, he made out with a package from the vehicle. The contents of that package are still unknown. Immediately, he sped off with a Toyota Ractis vehicle that was standby. Mission accomplished. The car involved in this daylight robbery has registration number KCU 113P. Surprisingly,CCTV cameras in a neighboring building recorded every detail.
