Mombasa - A man pretending to have a disability has been captured walking without the need for his wheelchair or crutches.

In a video shared online, the seemingly youthful man was recorded on a video surveillance helping himself to parts of a parked vehicle.

The man was captured by the Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) stopping his wheelchair next to some cars before waiting to ensure he wasn't being watched.

During the time, the man tried to alight from the wheelchair, but he was interrupted by middle-aged man who passed by.

After the man passed him, the 'man with disability' quickly disembarked from the wheelchair and walked towards the parked cars.

Carrying a black satchel, he picked up things from under the cars before slowly returning to the wheelchair, making sure he's not being seen.

According to the CCTV, the events happened on Tuesday, August 29, in one of the streets in the coastal city.

Kenyans shared their sentiments to the video, with most pointing out that criminals had changed their tactics.

Thieves rob man outside house

Separately, a CCTV footage showed how two suspected thugs robbed a man inside a car in Santon, Kasarani.

In the chilling clip, which went viral on Sunday, July 2, a male driver alights from a Toyota Probox and opens the gate of a house, ready to reverse into the residence.

As he heads back to the car, two assailants emerge from the darkness. Seeing the duo donning black trousers and jackets, the driver scampered for safety.

The two suspected thugs converged at the car and brandished what appeared to be guns. They asked another man who was in the vehicle to open it.

The victim surrendered and was led outside, where he was ordered to lie on the ground. The two ransacked the car and stole valuables of an undisclosed amount.
