Police in Nakuru County have seized 990 litres of ethanol, 29 rounds of 9mm ammunition and assorted firearm accessories during an intelligence-led operation in Rongai, culminating in the arrest of a suspect.<\/p>\n
Acting on a tip-off, the officers raided a homestead at Cottage Estate in Kiamunyi, where an illicit second-generation alcohol manufacturing operation was being conducted.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the operation, officers uncovered 990 litres of ethanol ingeniously concealed inside a septic tank within the compound, in what appeared to be an attempt to evade detection\u201d, the DCI said in a statement.<\/p>\n
A subsequent search of the suspect\u2019s house led to the recovery of a Ceska pistol magazine loaded with 29 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a bulletproof vest, a firearm cleaning kit, two pistol holsters, and assorted materials suspected to have been used in packaging counterfeit alcoholic drinks, including branded stickers, bottles and bottle tops.<\/p>\n
The suspect, Geoffrey Muriithi Kerinya, was arrested on the spot and taken into custody.<\/p>\n
He is currently undergoing processing pending arraignment. Meanwhile, the recovered items are being detained as exhibits.<\/p>\n
