The detectives arrested staff after confiscating computers in probe into cases of double registration of vehicles, after it emerged that a car used in ferrying terrorists to the dusitD2 complex incident in Riverside on January 15 was fraudulently registered.

The car had similar registration numbers to another one that was in Kitengela.
