Tala residents went to watch the operation on Tuesday morning. The woman was said to be an herbalist who was consulted by prominent politicians and business people.

“We have found engines, gear boxes and 130 national identity cards in the house. We find it interesting that the IDs were found here and we are still investigating the circumstances under which they found their way here,” said Mr Yego.
He added: “We are warning Kenyans who intend to buy vehicles not to do so from the black market because a big number of stolen vehicles are sold to unsuspecting persons. We have also established that many garages in the country are involved in dubious activities,” he said.
The officer said at least two people would be charged once investigations were completed.
