Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations Anti-Narcotics Unit at DCI Headquarters have arrested one suspect and recovered suspected methanol during an intelligence-led operation along the Nairobi–Thika Highway.
The operation, conducted at about 0400 hours in the Gwa Kairu area near Spur Mall, led to the interception of a grey Toyota Fortuner whose driver, identified as Thomas Ochieng Wamura was arrested at the scene.
A search of the vehicle uncovered multiple containers suspected to contain methanol, concealed within the vehicle. Two mobile phones were also seized as exhibits.
The suspect is in custody at Muthaiga Police Station pending completion of investigations and arraignment. The vehicle and recovered substances have been secured at DCI Headquarters for forensic analysis.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations reiterates its commitment to disrupting illicit drug trafficking networks through sustained intelligence-led enforcement operations.
