The driver was behind two buses that had stopped because of heavy traffic, and he appeared eager to get to his destination quickly.
Unable to wait for traffic to clear, he looked for a narrow opening on the left side to manoeuvre his way through. However, an ambulance overtook him and moved ahead.
It was a busy day in the city, with traders buying and selling by the roadside while pedestrians hurried along the footpaths.
Nairobi thieves disappear in traffic
The driver eventually stopped behind the ambulance, which appeared not to be in an emergency situation as its sirens were off while it remained stuck in traffic.
As vehicles waited for traffic to move, two men approached the ambulance from opposite sides and swiftly removed the wheel caps from the rear wheels.
They disappeared into the crowd within seconds, leaving the dashcam driver stunned by the daring theft.
The ambulance driver had no chance to get out and pursue the suspects due to the heavy traffic and could only remain inside the vehicle.

In another story, tension escalated in Nairobi after a dashcam captured three daring thieves ripping off a vehicle’s front grille along Parklands Road near the University of Nairobi Law School.
The video showed a coordinated gang of young men approaching a car stuck in traffic and immediately attempting to detach its grille. Their first attempt failed, forcing them to pause briefly.
Seconds later, one of them returned with renewed determination and successfully pulled off the grille. The trio then ran across the busy intersection connecting Thika Road and Limuru Road, nearly colliding with commuters waiting to board buses.
