Robbery foiled as guard visits toilet

Regular police and plain-clothed officers could be seen lurking around the building that is located downtown, opposite Barclays Bank on Blue Jacket Street. The area was cordoned off with a police red and white tape and customers and curious onlookers turned away.

Confused employees of the post office who arrived punctually could be seen milling around way past the time of starting work, apparently to give the police time to carry out their investigations. Postmaster Ontibile Kimani subsequently confirmed that there had been a break-in at the post office, saying the thieves had managed to get inside the building but did not take anything.
