Five arrested over defrauding Korean of Sh2.9m in fake gold scam.
Five suspects were Tuesday arrested in a police operation after defrauding a Korean national Sh2.9 million, on the pretext that they would sell him gold.
The five were arrested following a complaint by one Song Sung, who had initially been shown some well parked bars that he was made to believe were made of gold.
The victim had earlier been directed to a company known as Ekweme enterprises in Karen suburbs, where he was shown the supposed gold.
He told police he was led to the establishment by proxies believed to have been working in cahoots with the fraudsters, who immediately went into hiding after receiving the money.
Robinson Gitau, 35, Livai Kombo, 39, Fatuma Mohammed, 28, Eva Kimotho, 36 and a Cameroonian national Utia Kugi, 36, were arrested in a police operation.
