Laughter As Kisii Banker Is Arrested For Stealing Police Cruiser, Shares Why He Stole It

A dramatic arrest was witnessed on a busy road after a man was caught with a stolen police Land Cruiser.

The incident, captured in a viral video, attracted a huge crowd and left many laughing at the man’s unusual defense.

The suspect, pinned down by a police officer and a civilian, shocked onlookers with his bold explanation.

Instead of denying the act, he insisted that the vehicle did not belong to the police alone but to all Kenyans since it was bought with taxpayer money.

“This car belongs to Kenya. It is insured, and I pay taxes for it.

Have mercy on someone who pays taxes,” the man said as he tried to argue his way out.

His words left the crowd amused, with even some police officers unable to hold back their laughter.

According to the suspect, he had been mistreated by police earlier.

He claimed he was assaulted and held for three days before the incident.

While this part of his story remains unconfirmed, it added another twist to the dramatic arrest.

The incident did not end on the roadside. Once the video spread on social media, it quickly drew reactions from Kenyans across different platforms.

Some sided with the suspect, saying that his point about taxpayers owning government property made sense.

Others dismissed him, pointing out that laws clearly forbid the misuse or theft of public resources.

One Kenyan online wrote, “It belongs to the government of Kenya, yet the man is Kenyan. Where is the problem now?”

Another joked that police vehicles should be fitted with radios so suspects could enjoy music on the way to the station.

However, other users reminded the public that no amount of humor changes the law.

“The law does not know that. Let him go to court, and he will be served with reality after trending,” one comment read.

The arrest turned what could have been a tense situation into an entertaining moment for the public.
