Police officers have arrested two women accused of orchestrating a scam involving fake National Police Service (NPS) calling letters targeting job seekers in Nairobi.

The suspects were intercepted after a series of complaints from members of the public who fell victim to the fraudulent scheme.

According to officers at Parliament Police Station, the suspects, identified as Evaline Jepchirchir Rotich and Jane Chepkonga Chelanga, had been operating around Kencom, where they allegedly posed as individuals with links to recruitment officials.

Police said the duo “had been luring unsuspecting victims with promises of guaranteed NPS jobs before taking their hard-earned money.”

A swift operation was launched after credible intelligence was received, leading to the arrest of the two suspects.

Officers recovered Ksh330,200 in cash, which investigators believe to be proceeds of the illegal activity.

Police noted that “the money was seized directly from the suspects during the operation.”

Detectives Pursue Third Suspect

Following initial interrogation, detectives obtained a new lead that guided them to Upper Hill, where a third suspect is believed to have been operating.

Police said the accomplice “fled on foot upon noticing law enforcement presence,” leaving behind a Mazda Station Wagon, registration number KDV 862D.

Inside the abandoned vehicle, officers recovered two additional fake NPS calling letters, a discovery that police say points to a broader and more coordinated fraud network.

The vehicle has been secured as evidence as investigators work to unravel the full extent of the fraud.
