Car Thief Tricks Part 3: Distressed driver seeking help after car breakdown @KenyanTraffic

These robbers usually park a car beside the road and one of them stands conspicuously next to it with a small Jerry-can indicating their  car has run out of fuel and they need a lift to the next petrol station.

The Good Samaritan will stop and offer a ride. Once the perpetrator is in the car, he points a gun at the victim and orders him/her to drive to a certain direction where they are joined by other robbers. 

They will then drive the victim to his/her house, rob them of valuables and take them to their ATM branch to withdraw money. 

In some cases the victims are tranquilized and rendered unconscious.

This has been a big trap for male drivers for many years. 

Several male victims have fallen prey to female robbers who ask for rides and end up robbing them at gunpoint after being joined by awaiting male counterparts. 

After falling prey, they execute their plan, usually similar to the disguised break down, in that they often max out their victim’s bank account as well.
