The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) has foiled an attempt to siphon petroleum products through an illegal connection installed on one of its pipelines in Mombasa County.
The attempted theft was detected on Monday, November 2, 2026, during routine surveillance by KPC security and pipeline maintenance teams.
The teams traced the illegal connection along the pipeline linking Pumping Station 14 to Pumping Station 15 before securing the site to prevent the suspected criminals from accessing the petroleum products.
