Cyber fraud syndicate targeting SIM cards, bank accounts nabbed in Meru

Zachaeous Cheriot, Ambrore Kibet, and Silas Rono were arrested as a result of the operation, which was conducted by DCI officers. 

They are suspected of stealing victims' emails, illegally exchanging SIM cards, and embezzling funds from bank accounts.

The DCI claims the three were tracked to their hiding place at their homes. 

Eight mobile phones, 39 SIM cards, 42 SIM card plates, and a laptop were among the items found during a search of the location that were thought to have been used in the fraud scheme.

The suspects, according to investigators, were a part of a coordinated cybercrime network that targeted gullible Kenyans by using mobile technology to access private financial data and empty accounts.

The three suspects are in detention awaiting arraignment.
