The Port of Mombasa is fast turning into a conduit for stolen British cars, according to an article in one of Europe’s leading publications.

The Economist, a British weekly magazine, claims that about 79,000 stolen British cars found their way through the ports of Mombasa, Boma in Congo and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania in 2015, and headed to Uganda and Oman where they were sold.
