A routine bus journey came to an abrupt end for one passenger after detectives from the Transnational Organized Crime Unit (TOCU) intercepted a Nairobi-bound bus and uncovered a stash of heroin worth approximately Sh1 million.

Acting on a tip off, the detectives mounted an operation along the Mombasa–Nairobi Highway at Taru, where they flagged down the bus for a search.

What appeared to be an ordinary passenger screening quickly turned into a major narcotics bust.

Seated at Seat No. 29, the suspect was found in possession of a brown bag that concealed far more than personal belongings.

Inside were four sachets of heroin weighing a total of 300 grammes, along with Sh95,000 in cash believed to be proceeds of crime.

The suspect, 38-year-old Brian Tabu Owuor, was immediately arrested and is currently in police custody undergoing processing pending arraignment.

Meanwhile, the recovered heroin and the cash have been securely detained as exhibits as investigations gather pace.
