Police on Friday seized a Range Rover from politician Steve Mbogo as part of investigations into tax evasion and fraudulent acquisition of the number plate.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reported this via Twitter, saying the car was taken from Mr Mbogo in the afternoon.
The DCI said preliminary investigations indicated that the car’s number plate – KCL 830 A – was found to belong to a Probox.
Mr Mbogo did not respond to phone calls and a message for comment on the matter.
In January, police arrested 19 employees of the National Transport and Safety Authority in a bid to smash a number plate-cloning ring believed to have been aiding terrorists.
It was said that the ring, comprising officials attached to the Licensing, Information Technology, Inspection and the Registration of Motor Vehicles departments of the NTSA, had been helping criminals to duplicate number plates for stolen vehicles and those used for criminal activities.
At the time, Flying Squad boss Musa Yego said fake and cloned number plates were becoming increasingly common.
He asked the public to carry out thorough research before making purchases.
