Some forgotten Kenya-Stockholm scandals are too funny to forget. A 27 year old Kenyan male was, on Saturday, 10th November caught shop-lifting at an underground supermarket at the Central station in Stockholm. The Kenyan was caught red handed with a 5kg red meat as he tried to smuggle it out of the supermarket.
According to an agent who recorded the story, the Kenyan had removed the meat from the cold storage and repackaged it to make it look like fried chicken whose price tag was lower than the meat. The Kenyan had intended to purchase a chicken but surreptitiously removed the chicken from the package after the price was pasted on it and replaced it with the 5kg red nyama (meat).
His strategy was that once he reached the cashier, he would simply beam the price tag on the face of the cashier to electronically record the chicken price which he would then pay for and swagger out of the supermarket with red nyama (meat), ready to be chomad (cooked). A big smile at the female cashier was scheduled to melt any suspicions.
Unfortunately, the plan went seriously wrong. The electronic price reader jammed unexpectedly when he beamed his loot for price recording and what this meant was that the cashier needed to physically handle the purchase in order to punch the bar code number on the price tag so that the Kenyan could pay.
Since the entry on the price tag was “chicken”, the cashier got suspicious at the sheer weight of the “chicken” and decided to double check. The weight was just too much for a chicken and therefore the cashier decided to open the package to be sure. The Kenyan then discovered that he had been cornered so he decided to dash out of the supermarket but he was caught by security personnel as he climbed up the elevator staircase.
Although he denied any wrong doing, police was called and the Kenyan was arrested. A source close to the Kenyan told
Kenya Stockholm Blog that the suspect has since been released from custody and that he will be charged with attempted shop-lifting.
Another story!
In the meantime, a Kenyan teenie was caught on camera, trying to shake an automatic goodies machine in a tunnel train station to try and shake off a pack of chocolates for consumption. The Kenyan teenie, who was clad in a hooded jacket, was recorded on security video, shaking the machine violently as he tried to coax his target goodies out of the machine in “operation free goodies”.
It is not clear whether the Kenyan lad (boy) walked away with his loot but according to reports reaching
Kenya Stockholm Blog, the boy reached home safely before hell broke loose three days later. The Swedish authorities had managed to track down the Kenyan boy through a series of cameras at different underground stations which eventually helped in his identification. Since he was an under-age boy, he was recommended for rehab although the problem now is that he may have to be taken away from the mom who is a single mother. The story shocked many Kenyans because the goodies the lad was seeking are very cheap and affordable. It could immediately be established why the boy has been going without chocolates.
Why the swedish authorities want to take him away from his mother? This
delinquency is to little. Or what do you think?
