Police officers in Oloililai Sub-County intercepted a major consignment of suspected illicit ethanol and arrested two suspects following a successful early-morning patrol operation along Orland Hospital Road in Namanga Town.
The officers intercepted a white-and-green Scania lorry, registration number T668 DNB, and, upon conducting a thorough search, discovered 123 drums loaded with suspected illicit ethanol.
The driver of the lorry was arrested at the scene.
Shortly after the interception, officers also stopped a black Toyota Crown saloon car, registration number T224 DPC, which was closely trailing the lorry.
Preliminary investigations linked the driver to both the lorry and the seized cargo, leading to his arrest.
The suspects have been placed in custody, while the recovered vehicles and cargo have been secured as exhibits pending the conclusion of investigations.
The National Police Service commended the officers for their vigilance and dedication to duty, reaffirming its commitment to combating illegal activities and ensuring those involved are brought to justice.
