Car theft goes high-tech as thieves use coded devices to break into vehicles

Local police and Interpol officers inspect cars believed to have been stolen.

On Thursday, April 25, Ms Nelly Adika parked her car, a Toyota RunX on Njugu Lane, off Koinange Street. It was a few minutes past 6pm. She was late for her evening classes and was very lucky to get parking space. She picked her handbag and got out of her car. She pressed a button on her car keys, and heard two shrill sound effects from the car alarm. She didn’t look back, comfortable, that she had locked her car.
