In a dramatic crackdown, DCI detectives from Nairobi and DCI Gigiri have apprehended four notorious fake gold dealers at Runda estate, seizing approximately 9.5 kg of counterfeit gold bars and a stash of equipment used in their elaborate scam.
The operation was sparked by a tip-off from a foreign national who had fallen victim to a $200,000 con in a bogus gold deal. Acting swiftly, detectives stormed a luxurious residence at plot number 685 on Glory Valley Lane, capturing Felix Odiambo Otieno, Derrick Odhiambo Omore, Mohamed Ibrahim Mohamed, and Moses Odhiambo Auma. While some accomplices managed to flee, the four masterminds were taken into custody.

During the search, officers uncovered fake gold bars, a weighing machine, a plastic briefcase containing an electronic gold tester (tester gun), and various incriminating documents. Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) processed the scene, securing evidence as the suspects remain in custody awaiting further legal action.
