Detectives are investigating an incident where a man escaped and abandoned his motorcycle outside the Wangapala Road Indian High Commission staff residence in Nairobi.
The man had arrived aboard a motorcycle on July 20 at about 10.30 pm and stopped at the entrance.
Curious police on duty approached him seeking to know his mission and he claimed he was a deliveryman.
However, according to police, he had nothing to deliver.
Upon further grilling, he secretly threw away a mobile phone he had into drainage.
This drew the attention of the security present who searched him and found two more mobile phones in his pocket.
Police who were searching him said he slipped and escaped the scene leaving behind his mobile phones and the motorcycle.
Senior police officers later visited the scene and announced they are investigating the saga.
The motive is yet to be disclosed, police said.
The mobile phones were taken for analysis as part of the probe into the issue.
Last month on June 21, an Indian diplomat was rushed to the hospital after he was shot and wounded in a robbery in the same area.
The incident happened along Wangapala Road when a gang on a motorcycle approached two Indian diplomats who were walking in the area on June 21 evening.
A bodaboda rider with two pillion passengers on board stopped the two men and demanded money and mobile phone.
One of the diplomats is said to have resisted prompting one of the gunmen to pull the trigger.
He was shot in the left thigh and left with serious wound.
The middle level diplomat at the Indian High Commission in Nairobi was later rushed to the hospital in a stable condition.
Police visited the scene and recovered a spent cartridge, which will be subjected to ballistic tests.
No arrest has been made so far but police said they are pursuing the matter.
The police said the shooting happened out of a robbery and they have not found any hint the victim was targeted for any other reason.
The issue is still under probe. It is not clear if the latest incident is linked to the rider who escaped the area.
