Sh10 million believed to have been stolen from Barclays Bank Nanyuki branch have been recovered by police.
Detectives investigating the robbery traced the money at Ndaragwa township in Nyandarua North yesterday where it had been hidden in a hole dug in a cow shed.
According to Nyandarua OCPD Jasper Ombati, the revelation came after a bank worker who had been arrested directed the police to his home in Ndaragwa where he had hid the money.
“The bank worker was seized from his hideout in Mombasa and he is the one who directed the police to the scene. We recovered the amount in bank notes,” he said.
“Our officers had a concrete report indicating that he was behind the syndicate and that is why we followed him there. He was arrested at one of the homes in the area,” he added.
Two of the cashiers at the bank have so far been arrested after they surrendered themselves to the police in Nanyuki and are also helping with investigations.
The two staff members went into hiding two weeks ago after more than Sh30million was stolen.
Laikipia East OCPD Joshua Lutukai said one of the suspects was arrested in Malindi while the other was arrested in Emali town in Kajiado County.
