Kenya – In what has been dubbed – on social media – as one of the most daring stunts Nairobi robbers have unleashed in the recent past, a police officer controlling traffic at the Roysambu roundabout on Thika Road in Nairobi, lost his phone to criminals aboard a motorcycle in a split second incident.
The brazen theft was reportedly recorded on a motorist’s dashboard camera a few minutes past 5pm on Tuesday, July 6.
In a mind-blowing video, the police officer is seen communicating on the phone while controlling traffic on a busy roundabout.

As he was busy multitasking, three daring young men who were riding on a motorbike emerged from the blues and snatched his phone and sped off.
The incident happened so fast that the cop was left tongue-tied and perplexed.
Shocked, the officer attempted to run after the robbers, but gave up – almost immediately – on realising they had significantly widened the distance.
Appearing confused, the cop went to a nearby okada rider, who was watching the happenings quietly, and engaged him in a brief talk.
