Car Heist Unveiled: Night Guard Charged with Stealing Audio Equipment

In a shocking turn of events, a 26-year-old night guard finds himself at the center of a car audio equipment theft investigation. Edwin Omongo, the accused, has been charged with stealing radios, amplifiers, woofers, and Bluetooth devices from vehicles parked at a garage in Nairobi.

The owner of the garage, Desmond Oguda Akello, became aware of the thefts when two of his clients reported missing radios from their cars. Concerned about the security of his premises, Akello personally interrogated the night guard. Unfortunately, the guard denied any knowledge of the incidents and assured Akello that no thefts had occurred.

Determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Akello enlisted the help of the garage manager and supervisor. Together, they thoroughly inspected the vehicles on the premises and discovered that six of them had been targeted. Notable car models such as Toyota Prado, Mercedes Benz, BMW, and Honda Stream were among the affected vehicles.

The stolen audio equipment, including amplifiers, mid-range speakers, Android, Sony, and Kenwood Bluetooth radios, as well as a Pioneer screen, had an estimated value of Sh300,000. To gather more evidence, the CCTV footage was reviewed, revealing the guard allowing an unknown individual into the garage late at night. The same person was then seen leaving the premises in the early hours of the morning, carrying a suspicious bag.

Adding to the intrigue, Omongo mysteriously did not show up for work for approximately ten days following the incident. However, on September 2, he unexpectedly made contact with Akello, stating his intention to return to work that very night. Sensing an opportunity, the garage owner promptly notified the police, leading to Omongo’s arrest and subsequent legal proceedings.

Omongo maintains his innocence and denies all charges against him. The case, now scheduled for trial on May 22 of next year, promises to shed more light on this audacious car heist. As the legal battle ensues, the victims anxiously await justice and hope to recover their stolen audio equipment.
