Three men have been arrested for fraudulently obtaining money from unsuspecting Kenyans along the Narok-Bomet Highway.
Saini Rajipal, Samson Mahara and George Mwanthi were nabbed on Monday evening with the false promise that they were to sell to the complainants an antique iron box that allegedly contained Mercury.
They will be charged with attempting to obtain money by false pretences.
The Director of Criminal Investigations tweeted this on Tuesday midday.
