The dramatic heist where a cash transit company lost Sh72 million on Thursday was executed by police officers who used two vans to cart away the loot, Saturday Standard can reveal.

At the same time, four people -- among them a car dealer who hired out his Toyota Noah which police believe was used to carry the money -- have been arrested.
