The woman caught shoplifting at a supermarket in Kagio on Sep 8, 2025 had allegedly been stealing for the past two months involving her own child.
According to supermarket staff, the suspect would enter the store with her child, buy a few low cost items and let the child carry the paid goods. Meanwhile, she concealed stolen items and exited through the entrance deliberately avoiding the main exit where security checks are done.
This tactic is believed to have helped her avoid detection multiple times. However, suspicious staff began monitoring her behavior closely, eventually catching her red-handed. The total value of stolen items is estimated to be around Ksh 3,500.
She was immediately handed over to police and taken to Kiamaciri Police Station for further investigation and possible prosecution.
