Gold worth six million shillings vanished from police custody in Kenya. Three Korean business people gave their gold to officers at an Athi River station for safekeeping during March. The foreigners came to Kenya to work on real estate near Sabaki and help set up solar water pumps. Someone swapped real gold for fake metal at the police station before Easter. Officers found the switch when they checked their steel box in April.
Police reported the theft at Mlolongo station on May 9 after finding the gold gone. A police leader told reporters they did store the gold as asked. The Koreans picked this station because it seemed very safe. The police building is on Mombasa Road in Machakos County. Police teams searched but found no clues about who took the gold.
The case stays open as police try to track down the missing treasure. No arrests have happened since the theft came to light. The Korean visitors trusted the police because of the strong security at the station. Detectives continue looking through the evidence for any leads. The business people must wait as police work to solve this mystery.
