Law Enforcement Officers from Kapsabet Police Station have intercepted a motor vehicle with two occupants, recovering a significant haul of cannabis sativa.
The intercepted vehicle, with registration KDP 296G, turned out to be a mobile stash house, revealing carefully hidden sacks of cannabis sativa weighing 283.5 kilograms valued at approximately Sh14,175,000 in the streets.
The occupants, Gabriel Lubasi and his partner in crime, Wycliffe Geda, were arrested on the spot and whisked away to Kapenguria Police Station, where they now face the full force of the law.
In a similar operation, officers from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) and the Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU) launched a raid on the Nakuru-Nairobi Highway, intercepting a public service vehicle in Kamirithu, Limuru.
Inside, two black backpacks packed to the brim with five bales of cannabis sativa wrapped in yellow cello tape were found, thanks to the eagle-eyed officers.
The illicit cargo belonged to passenger Lydia Arebo Emongoluk. As if that wasn’t enough, another search unveiled even more illicit cargo: a black backpack and a tote bag holding four and two additional bales of the prohibited weed, linked to co-passenger Petronilla Kwamboka.
Both suspects now sit in custody, undergoing processing, awaiting their day in court as the police tighten the noose on narcotics trafficking.
These operations underscore the National Police Service’s commitment to eradicating narcotics trafficking across Kenya.
