According to one family member, who spoke to Hot 96, the dog was so full that it was able to bark as the thieves moved from one house to the other in the homestead.
“Nilikuwa natoka kanisani kama kawaida nikashanga kupatana na sufuria ya githeri, hapo nikaona milango yote imefunguliwa. Nikangundua kuna watu walikuja wakapee mbwa githeri wakapata nafasi ya kuingia kwa nyumba na wakachukua manguo yote,” said woman.
Area residents expressed shock by how the thieves thought of feeding the dog with githeri to keep it calm as they went about their business.
