Following an intelligence-based operation led by sleuths from the Anti-Narcotics Unit and Trans National Organised Crime Unit, a shipment of cannabis sativa and Sh13.4 million in cash was confiscated today.
The investigators, who were assisted by police from the Anti Terror Police Unit located at Parklands, also managed to apprehend four individuals who were discovered at the spot in the expansive slums of Kariua in Nairobi’s Ngara area.
A thorough investigation resulted in the recovery of two gunny bags containing millions of shillings, 26 packets of cannabis, four cartons of rolling supplies, 173 packed sweets, and a box of suspected weed cookies.
The suspects, 54-year-old Teresia Wanjiru and three juveniles aged between 16 and 17 were escorted to custody for further questioning pending arraignment in court tomorrow.
