Meanwhile, a farmer is in pain after he found his two cows missing in Lari, Kiambu County.
He told police the incident happened in Kamuchege village and saw two Friesian cows stolen by unknown people.
The farmer had securely locked the cows in the cowshed within his compound on Sunday but when he woke up the following day, he found them missing.
He said the cows were valued at Sh350,000. Police said they are investigating the incident.
