Saturday, December 6,
2025 - Police officers in the Nairobi Region have recovered a large cache
of suspected stolen motor vehicle registration plates following an
intelligence-led operation in Kariobangi South.
Acting on credible information from members of the public,
officers from Buruburu and Dandora Police Stations stormed a residential house
believed to be a hub for the illegal processing, fabrication, and storage of
vehicle identification materials.
During the operation, officers seized 34 complete
registration plates, 67 incomplete (mixed front and rear) plates, 34 half-cut
plates, three rolls of chassis number stickers, one roll of blue iron sheeting,
two rolls of white and yellow reflective sheets, and various number plate
frames.
Investigators believe the items were being used to
manufacture, modify, or falsify licence plates-potentially to aid vehicle
theft, cloning, or other criminal activities.
The main suspect linked to the premises narrowly escaped and
is currently being pursued.
All seized materials have been secured as exhibits pending
forensic examination and identification.
The National Police Service commended the officers for their
swift action and thanked members of the public for providing crucial
information that made the operation a success.
The Service reiterated its commitment to combating vehicle-related crime, including number plate forgery, car cloning, and illegal trafficking of stolen motor vehicle parts.
