Woman drugs driver and conductor and steals their money

A Kenyan woman reportedly drugged and robbed a lorry driver who had stopped to help her.

 According to reports, the driver and his conductor who identified themselves as Leonard Kipsang and Harrison Tanui respectively, said they had offered a woman a ride in their lorry and had accepted a drink from her, only to wake up in a ‘strange place’.

According to Kipsang, the woman had waved them down at the Southern bypass while they were on their way from Nairobi to Uganda, but they had woken up in Nandi East, after drinking from the cans of beer the woman offered them as ‘thank you for helping me’. Unknown to them, the woman had drugged the drinks, which first caused them to feel dizzy and later sleep off. 

They had stopped at Nakuru town to get some rest, and while they slept, the woman carted away the goods they were transporting which was reportedly worth about 3 million Kenyan shillings.

Here’s what Kipsang said:

 “She seemed to be a nice lady who appeared to be stranded late in the night, so I told her to hop in the track and we proceeded with the journey. 

I had a sip then told my conductor that I will take the rest when we reach our destination but since he was idle, he started to enjoy the drinks.” When he woke up lost and confused, he proceeded to the nearest police station where they tracked and found the lorry, but the goods were already gone by then.

 Here’s what the investigation officer in charge of the case, Musa Khaemba, said: “He found his way to our station and reported the incident. Immediately, we raised the alarm and later received information that the vehicle was abandoned at a tea plantation with goods missing.

 The tout (conductor) was also found somewhere else while trying to trace a nearby police station and we took them to the government hospital, where heroin was noticed in their blood sample.
