Machakos: Church Member Arrested Following Theft of Gas Cylinder
A churchgoer has been arrested and handed over to the police in Kaewa, Masinga, Machakos County for allegedly breaking into their church and stealing several items.
The 38-year-old man is accused of breaking into AIC Kitula and making away with property, including a gas cylinder and a gas hose.
According to the area assistant chief Nicholas Kiewa, congregants have lately been suspecting that he is behind the disappearance of several items in the church.
They even accuse him of making a copy of the church’s keys.
“He was a guitar player at the church but when the congregants began suspecting that he was stealing church items, they stopped him from playing. They suspect he made copies of the church keys,” the administrator said.
The suspect is detained at the Kaewa police post.
