Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Kilimani have successfully arrested Meshack Kipleting Tarbei, a notorious serial fraudster and Director of Motorshop E.A Ltd, who had been evading capture for more than a year. Kipleting, who had been operating a fraudulent business under the guise of Motorshop E.A Ltd, closed his office at Marsabit Plaza on Ngong Road and went into hiding after defrauding numerous unsuspecting individuals.
The suspect’s illegal activities came to light after nine victims reported being swindled out of their hard-earned money. The complaints were filed at Kilimani Police Station, prompting an immediate investigation by the DCI.
Kilimani detectives launched an extensive search, which culminated in the arrest of Kipleting at his hideout in King Serenity Estate, Rongai. He was arrested and escorted to DCI Kilimani offices for processing, where he awaits arraignment in court.
Detectives believe there may be additional victims who have yet to report their cases, with some possibly filing complaints at various police stations across Nairobi. Efforts are currently underway to consolidate these reports to ensure that all those affected by Kipleting’s fraudulent schemes receive justice.
Authorities are urging any other individuals who may have fallen victim to the suspect’s fraudulent activities to come forward and report to the nearest police station.
