SUSPECT APPREHENDED DURING DRUG INTERDICTION OPERATION
As part of sustained and strategic efforts to dismantle transnational drug trafficking networks, detectives from the Transnational Organized Crime Unit (TOCU) have arrested a suspect following a targeted, intelligence-led operation.
Acting on credible information, officers intercepted a passenger bus, registration number KDV 716C, belonging to Crane Coach, which was en route to Nairobi from Busia. The vehicle was stopped at Limuru along the Nairobi–Nakuru Highway, where a targeted search was conducted.
During the operation, detectives recovered one wrapped bundle of greenish plant material concealed in a polythene bag, and two smaller packages containing similar plant material, all suspected to be cannabis (bhang).
The suspect, Ruth Wambui Muthiri (53), was taken into custody and escorted to Muthaiga Police Station for processing. The matter has since been handed over to the Anti-Narcotics Unit at DCI Headquarters for further investigations and appropriate legal action.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations remains resolute in its mandate to detect, deter, and dismantle organized criminal enterprises.
We call upon members of the public to continue partnering with law enforcement by sharing actionable information through the Fichua Kwa DCI toll-free number 0800 722 203 or WhatsApp 0709 570 000.
