In one of the most daring theft incidents,a suspected gang of robbers broke into the Equity bank,Kayole branch on saturday,stole from a safe,stole an ATM machine and made away with an unknown amount of ransom.

The Equity bank,Kayole branch under its normal working mode.

The gang is said to have drilled holes in the bank wall leading to the safe,then used gas cylinders to burn up the safe open.
Once inside,they stole an ATM machine and an unknown amount of money in the safe.
It is still a puzzle of how the gang managed to interfere with the bank's alarm systems and the CCTV cameras,because  none of the security guards knew about the ongoing incident until on sunday morning.
Nairobi police boss,Japheth Koome confirmed the incident and mentioned that the gang seemed to have the informational set-up of the bank,adding that the robbery might have been made a success with the help of some staff members.

             "Equity headquarters detected unusual activities in the Kayole branch and raised the manager who went to check and realized the strong room had been tampered with and cash stolen,"said Koome.
The security guard who was on duty that day had no knowledge of all this ongoing happenings but has been arrested to help with the investigations.
Police sources said that the bank officials asked for more time to go through their statements in order to establish the amount of money that was stolen.
It should be noted that in 2015,a similar incident took place in Equity bank Othaya branch,Nyeri county.3 thugs who identified themselves as auditors from Equity Nairobi branch threatened the security guards with knives and ordered them to lie down,after which they packed the ransom into sacks.
