Detectives drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested Meshack Kipleting Tarbei who has been hiding for over a year after fleecing unsuspecting members of the public their hard-earned money.
In a statement on Thursday January 2, 2025, the DCI noted that Kipleting is a serial fraudster and Director of Motorshop E.A Ltd.
Kipleting, whose office was located at Marsabit Plaza along Ngong road, closed shop and went into hiding after nine victims reported his unlawful acts at Kilimani police station.
“Upon receipt of the complaints, detectives sprang into action in search of the villain who was smoked out of his hide out at King Serenity Estate in Rongai where he was escorted to DCI Kilimani offices for processing pending arraignment,” DCI reported.
DCI detectives believe more complainants may have made their reports on the suspect at different police stations across the Capital City, and are hence consolidating the reports to ensure justice to all victims.
