Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) detectives have arrested a trafficker, seizing heroin worth Sh1.19 million in a swift intelligence-led operation in Nakuru.
The suspect, 42-year-old Ephantus Kariuki Mwangi, was nabbed while riding a motorcycle (Reg. No. KMEC 785W), carrying luggage that raised red flags among the hawk-eyed detectives.
A search of the luggage uncovered 397 grams of heroin, neatly concealed for transport. Detectives also recovered two syringes and needles, ten rolls of bhang, and three packets of Supermatch cigarettes.
The arrest effectively cut short what detectives believe was an active drug supply run. Kariuki is now in police custody as detectives complete investigations ahead of his arraignment.
The DCI remains firmly committed to dismantling drug trafficking networks through relentless operations and multi-agency collaboration. With zero tolerance for traffickers, regardless of status, we will ensure a safer, drug-free Kenya for all.
