NARCOTICS SEIZED AT JKIA

DCI anti-narcotics officers based at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Tuesday afternoon seized suspected amphetamines from a shipment destined for Australia from Bujumbura, Burundi, drug that had been concealed in 10 large candles packed in a carton.

The discovery was made during a verification exercise at the DHL Cargo Shed at Cargo area, where tests on the whitish crystalline substance found stashed in the carton and wrapped using a yellow cellotape tested positive for the highly addictive drug.

The shipment was seized and further investigations are underway to track down the traffickers.

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.
