Police have arrested three suspects at Brookside Drive, Westlands on Monday, October 1, with fake money amounting to over Ksh 1 billion.
One suspected managed to escape after police pounced on the men.
Flying Squad head Musa Yego, however, assured the public efforts were underway to hunt down the fugitive and bring him to justice.
“There were three suspects and one ran away. We are still trying to find the suspect who escaped. We will find him,” Musa said. “It is more than a KSh 1 billion and it is not in Kenyan currency. It was in dollars and Euros,” Musa added.
Trailed
A Mali national and two Canadian were among those arrested. Musa also said the foreigners have been in the country for 10 years now and have been conning people and even had a machine that was being used to print the fake money.
Police had been trailing him for weeks, Musa asked the public for information on him and the others so they are taken to court.The DCI said the Kenyan had been working as the driver of the two.
