Kajiado - Closed-circuit television (CCTV) has been a game changer in securing homes and establishments.

Its ability to store footage for future reference has been hailed for helping deter and solve incidents that were captured.

In a CCTV footage shared by Uzalendo, a suspected thief has been exposed after he was recorded by one of the cameras.

The young man in a green hoodie can be seen working to ensure his face is obscured from the cameras at the gate of a compound in Ngong.

He scales the gate wall before he tries to tamper with the angle of the camera, which he misses and falls with a thud.

On a second attempt, the man tried his luck at vandalising the camera, but his hood fell off before he could do so, leaving him exposed for all to see.

According to the CCTV footage's time stamp, the events were recorded on Friday at 2:43am.
