Three firearms and 60 rounds of ammunition were stolen from Kamorwon Administration Police post in Nandi South as cops on duty watched a football match in the nearby trading centre on Tuesday night.
An unknown gang raided the police post at around 9:30PM, when they found no cop on the desk as all of them had gone to watch a UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match between Barcelona and Manchester United.
The officers returned to the police post a few minutes past midnight when they discovered that the room of the lead officer, which is also used as an armoury, had been broken into. “On entering the house, they found the steel box [which contained the guns and ammunition] was also broken into,” reads a statement by Corporal Rodgers Masiwa, who filed a report at Kobujoi Police Station at 1AM.
