Detectives have successfully unravelled a nefarious motorcycle theft ring that has been operating a lucrative operation spanning Kenya and a neighbouring country.

This criminal syndicate, which meticulously orchestrated the disappearance of motorcycles in multiple towns within the country, has now been exposed, thanks to a comprehensive investigation conducted by law enforcement officials.

The breakthrough, in this case, came when detectives discovered the existence of a highly organized gang responsible for the brazen thefts.

Their modus operandi involved luring unsuspecting boda boda riders through the use of a female decoy, identified as Agnes Wambui.

Employing a cunning disguise as a pillion passenger, Wambui would charm the riders, only to stupefy them along the way before vanishing with their motorcycles once they lost consciousness.
