Police in Kapkatet are investigating a burglary at Kapkatet AIC Church in which thieves reportedly stole musical equipment and assaulted a person who had been left at the church.
The incident is said to have occurred at around 2am, when the suspects broke into the church and made away with a piano, mixer and power booster.
According to the report, the church pastor was away in Nairobi at the time of the incident, while a boy who had been left behind was allegedly assaulted by the intruders.
The boy was reportedly hit on the leg and had his mouth stuffed with a piece of table cloth.
The suspects are also said to have targeted Chebitet AIC Church, where they reportedly failed to gain entry but took a speaker.
The speaker was later found abandoned along the road.
The incident has been reported at Kapkatet Police Station, with calls for police to investigate the two incidents and establish whether they were carried out by the same suspects.
Police had not immediately released details on whether any arrests had been made or the value of the stolen equipment.
