Thugs yesterday broke into the offices of the Kenya News Agency and National Environment Management Authority and stole equipment.
Bungoma South OCPD Kirunya Limbitu said that they were still carrying out investigations into the burglary.
Among the stolen equipment are computers, TV sets, cameras and important files.
But County Information Officer Pauline Ikanda, who recorded a statement with the police, said the robbers might have used a master key in accessing the two offices.
“We were shocked that when we arrived in office this morning we found all tools of trade gone,” she said.
