Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are hunting for a man believed to have stolen video cameras belonging to a city church.

David Wanyonyi Simiyu, a recent convert stole two video cameras with their accessories worth close to Ksh1 million.

The professional cameras belonged to the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA), Zimmerman branch.

According to sleuths, Simiyu stole the cameras last Sunday when the faithful were deep in prayer.

It was not after the service was over that church orderlies noticed that the cameras were missing.

“The Church leadership notified our detectives through #FichuakwaDCI hotline and sleuths from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau, immediately took up the matter. It didn’t take long for the revered crime busters to unmask the author of the crime,” the DCI said in a statement.

After intensive investigations, detectives established that a recent convert who had received salvation in the church was the mastermind behind the disappearance.

Simiyu who hails from Trans-Nzoia county took off with the equipment and sold it to unscrupulous dealers, at Nairobi’s Imenti business hub.

Forensic analysis and surveillance conducted via the DCI mobile laboratory in the heart of Nairobi’s Central Business district led detectives to the suspects who bought the equipment.

The three; Joshua Mulei, Douglas Karanja and Stephen Thuo, who trade in stolen electronic equipment, were unmasked technologically through forensics.

Detectives recovered the two cameras and their accessories from the trio who are currently being held at Muthaiga Police Station.

Meanwhile, the PCEA Zimmerman clergy have since forgiven Simiyu, in accordance with the scriptures.
