Camera captures thieves on a motorbike stealing phone from Police Officer

The video posted by a number of influencers online showed a traffic officer on duty at a busy roundabout where he was directing traffic.

The officer momentarily stops to pick a call and while he is on the phone, a pillion passenger on a boda boda snatches it and rides away.

The unidentified officer is then seen stepping back to converse with bystanders over the incident.

A time stamp on the short video clip showed that the incident was recorded at some minutes past 5:00 pm on a date in early July.

The video elicited a number of comments from Kenyans, some who made light of the moment.
