Foreign nationals nabbed in a mobile shop sting operation. Police arrested two Iranian men, Heidari Mansoior Eslam and Babaei Ahmad Mirzaaga, for theft at a phone store in Thika, Nairobi. A shopkeeper recognized them from a prior incident where they used stupefying tactics to steal cash.
The attendant alerted his colleague, who confirmed their identities as the same individuals from the earlier robbery. An angry crowd gathered before officers intervened to secure the suspects. Authorities credited the shopkeepers' alertness for the successful apprehension.
The duo remains held at Thika Police Station pending formal legal proceedings. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations stated the pair pretended to be customers before being identified. Their alleged method involved confusing shop attendants to facilitate theft.
