Thieves broke into the Mitheru Tourism and Cultural Centre, located next to the infamous Nithi bridge in Tharaka Nithi County and stole several Ameru cultural artefacts. 

The unknown criminals also vandalised the facility, which is owned by the Tharaka Nithi County government but is run by the Ameru Njuri Ncheke Council of Elders, and stole eight doors.
