ARREST OF SUSPECTS, RECOVERY OF GAME TORPHIES

Mwendwa Ngura Ngavu, 63, and Serah Norah Mwendwa, 56, have been arrested after authorities discovered three pieces of elephant tusks in their possession.

Acting on credible intelligence, a coordinated team composed of police officers and Kenya Wildlife Services officials swooped down on the suspects' residence in Kavuvwani village, located in Mwingi Central Sub-County. A thorough search of their house led to the recovery of the illicit elephant tusks.

Both suspects are currently in custody at Mwingi Police Station, where they are undergoing processing in preparation for their upcoming arraignment. The recovered tusks have been detained as exhibits.

About

The establishment, development and growth of Criminal Investigations Department can be traced to the evolvement of the Kenya Police to which it remains one of the key formations. The first police officers were recruited in 1887 by the Imperial British East Africa Company, I.B.E.A. to provide security for stores in Mombasa. It was from these humble beginnings that the Kenya Police was born.
