Kenya: A police operation in Athi River led to the arrest of five suspects and the impoundment of three trucks involved in a cement siphoning racket. Officers from the Kenya Police Service recovered over 660 bags of cement that allegedly weighed 4kg less than advertised, at 46kg each, according to The Star Kenya. The operation was initiated after a customer had complained about receiving underweight cement bags. One of the suspects said that he was paid US$3.86/day to siphon 2 - 6kg of cement from each 50kg bag, and that each truck carrying 220 bags of cement was siphoned by three people at a time, usually during the night.
