Police in Nakuru are investigating a case in which an unknown number of thieves were captured on a CCTV footage breaking into and stealing from a parked motor vehicle within the city.

Nakuru county Police Commander Peter Mwanzo said they had received the footage and are reviewing it in a bid to identify the people involved in the theft.

He said the authorities have deployed sleuths in plain clothes to pursue the criminals.

" We received the footage and we are reviewing it keenly to obtain important details that will assist the police to bring the suspects to book," said Mr Mwanzo.

In the undated CCTV footage, a young man could be seen alighting from a cab which had parked behind three motor vehicles.

The man proceeds to a vehicle parked in the middle and after a little survey he tries getting access by opening the driver’s door.

He appears to struggle with door for a while before he finally manages to open it.

He then enters the car and appears to be looking for something which he fails to get.

He goes back to the cab and someone in the vehicle seems to direct him where to search.

He goes back to the vehicle and finds what he was looking for, closes the door and boards the awaiting cab.

Police have however, confirmed that no report has been made concerning the theft.

The reporter learnt that the Police embarked on investigations after coming across the footage which has gone viral on social media.

Mr Mwanzo called upon the owners of the vehicle which was broken into to report to the police. He also challenged members of the public to volunteer any information that can help arrest the suspects.
