A burglar nicknamed ‘Spiderman’, was captured by CCTV cameras about a week ago scaling the fence of residential apartments in Kilimani.Police report says the burglar made away with an unknown amount of money on that fateful day.
In the video, the man is seen climbing a perimeter wall trying to make his way into the first floor of one of the many classy apartments of Kilimani.
In the video, he is seen looking around and – when his view seems clear – he pulls a typical ‘Spiderman’ stunt and climbs through a stair rail to access the first floor.
“Normally he comes when everyone is asleep,” a resident who has suffered the wrath of the Kilimani ‘spiderman’ said.
Police suspect the burglar could be conspiring with security guards to accomplish his mission.On Valentine’s Day last week, a foreign citizen’s safe was also broken into and his gun stolen.
One of the victims of the thug’s exploits who spoke to Citizen T.V on condition of anonymity said she woke up one morning and her lock was broken and her door opened.
“I live on the second floor, and one morning I woke up and my jewelry and my laptop were missing, my house had been broken into,” she narrated.
“I got hurt… because anything can happen, material things can be recovered, but it really scares me that someone was in my house and I’m all alone.”
In one residential area, according to sources who spoke to Citizen T.V, the burglar climbed a tree at 8p.m and stayed up until 1a.m before coming down and making his way into an apartment block.
Kilimani OCPD Michael Muchiri has now assured residents that both day and night patrols have been increased in pursuit of ‘Spiderman.’
Detectives are also trying to piece evidence to establish if he enjoys protection from security guards to continue with his vice.
