NAIROBI, Kenya Mar 17 \u2013 A suspected drug trafficker has been arrested following a sting operation by detectives along the Mai Mahiu\u2013Nairobi Road in Limuru Sub-County.<\/p>\n
The operation, conducted by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Transnational Organized Crime Unit and the Anti-Narcotics Unit, in collaboration with police from Mutarakwa Police Post, led to the recovery of a significant quantity of suspected cannabis sativa.<\/p>\n
According to the DCI, the officers acted on credible intelligence to intercept a dark blue car, at Mutarakwa Trading Centre. The vehicle was suspected to be transporting narcotics.<\/p>\n
The driver, identified as Brian Thomas Wachika, was arrested on the spot. A search of the vehicle uncovered four-and-a-half sacks containing green plant material believed to be cannabis. The street value of the recovered drugs has yet to be established.<\/p>\n
However, a second occupant of the vehicle managed to escape during the operation, with police launching a manhunt to track him down.<\/p>\n
The suspect, along with the seized exhibits, has been transferred to DCI headquarters for processing and documentation. He is expected to be arraigned in court.<\/p>\n
The DCI has reiterated its commitment to cracking down on organized criminal networks and drug trafficking syndicates across the country.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
