Mastermind Behind Prime Bank Robbery Tobias Juma Arrested in Bungoma

A former security guard was involved in a robbery incident at a Prime Bank branch in Nakuru in January, a CCTV footage filed in court shows. 

The robbers made away with an estimated Sh2.3 million and staff lost mobile phones.  

Documents filed in court by the police said Mr Tobias Juma Mukhuyu, who was arrested in Bungoma County early this week and charged in court on Wednesday, was seen in the footage opening the main door of the bank for his accomplices.

After entering the banking hall, the robbers commandeered the staff to the toilets and locked them inside before they ransacked the drawers and stole Sh2.3 million.

The guard denied three counts of robbery with violence and failing to prevent a felony.

The former security guard was traced and arrested at Nashianda in Bungoma county following investigations and the CCTV footage.
