Police are investigating an incident in which suspected thugs broke into offices at the Department of roads at Public Works Building in Nairobi and stole cash and other valuables.
The break-in happened on July 14 at night, police said.
Security guards manning the building at Community area realized the incident long after it had happened.
Two major offices were apparently broken into.

A safe that was in his office was found in the kitchen where it had been broken into and its contents stolen.
It is not clear what was stolen from the safe.
Further, the office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), which is situated on the 11th floor of the same building was also broken into but it is not clear what was stolen from therein.
