A multi-agency security team has arrested two suspects and seized nine sacks of cannabis sativa, each weighing approximately 100 kilograms, in an intelligence-led operation conducted along the Mai Mahiu–Nairobi road in the Limuru area.
The joint operation involved detectives from the Transnational Organized Crime and Anti-Narcotics units, supported by officers from Mutarakwa Police Post in Limuru sub-county.
Acting on actionable intelligence, the officers intercepted a white Toyota Noah, registration number KCX 728Q, which was being driven by 37-year-old Minja Jimmy.
“During the operation that was conducted along Maai Mahiu- Nairobi road within Limuru area, the law enforcement officers intercepted a white Toyota Noah, Reg No. KCX 728Q, which was being driven by 37 year old Minja Jimmy in the company of his brother in crime and agemate Bernard Nyabero Nyakangi,” DCI stated.
He was accompanied by his alleged accomplice, Bernard Nyabero Nyakangi, also aged 37.
Upon conducting a thorough search of the vehicle, the officers discovered nine large sacks stuffed with cannabis sativa.
The narcotics had been carefully concealed beneath a black polythene covering in an attempt to evade detection.
The suspects, along with the vehicle and recovered narcotics, were escorted to Mutarakwa Police Post for booking before being transferred to the DCI headquarters for further investigation and subsequent arraignment in court.
