The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has recovered mobile phones worth Sh120 million that were stolen on transit from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
On Monday, the detectives raided Muimara Estate court number 70, in Imara Daima where 629 cartons containing the phones were recovered.
The mobile phones were stolen on April 10 while on transit from African Cargo at JKIA to Rolling Cargo Ltd warehouse in Eastleigh.
"The said cargo parked in 750 cartons was being ferried on an Isuzu FRR lorry Reg. No. KBZ 628X driven by 40-yr-old Daniel Kavuti. The lorry was diverted from the designated route only to be found abandoned along Masai Road while empty," DCI said.
Four suspects were also arrested by a joint team from Nairobi Area and Buruburu and upon interrogation, they led the detectives to the house.
The four are 41-year-old Mwangangi Kyalo, Jacob Waithaka (39), Patrick Irungu (45) and Newton Mwenda (35).
"Efforts to recover the rest of the cartons underway. The lorry driver who is still at large is advised to surrender himself at any police station near him," DCI said.
