The police are now completing their investigation into this case and will then refer to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further action.

“Following the arrest of the 3 suspects, we also managed to solve 2 more ATM explosion cases belonging to the same bank that happened in Meru in December 2020 and February of last year.”
