Police in Kenya have arrested two suspects in connection to the disappearance of Ksh8 million ($57971) stolen from a businessman.
The suspects, Moses Cherish and Eliud Wangai stole the money from a safe hidden in the abandoned pump station at Kinangop in Nyandarua County, Central Kenya.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspects are believed to have gained entry into the building through the roof before helping themselves with the cash after breaking the safe.
A total of Ksh2.5 million ($18115) has since been recovered from the suspects, and the third suspect David Mushendu is still at large.
The suspects face charges of Stealing by Servant contrary to Section 281 of the Penal Code.
