An underworld notorious drug peddler was caught in a sting operation by Kibra Police Station officers designed to source information on narcotics traffic in the Kibra district.
The bust was carried out in Lindi in the Kibra Sub-County against the backdrop of escalating cases of drug trafficking and abuse that the authorities say have continued to fan a vice that reportedly is responsible for proliferation of crime, violence and disintegration of family units and communities.
Police said that officers had received intelligence that connected the suspect with a illicit drugs ring based at the informal settlement.
During the operation, suspects were quickly detained by the police and can be arraigned before a court of law while investigations are still going on.
A search of the said sues revealed 86 rolls of cigarette shaped Cannabis Sativa wrapped up as such, about 200 grams of unexpanded Cannabis Sativa, 48 Cannabis Sativa Hucks edges believed to be intend for the market and 25 rolling notes used for Drug Prepollesing and packings.
The suspects were quickly detained by the police and can be arraigned before a court of law while investigations are still going on.
Police revealed that experts are carrying out inquiries into potential links between the accused and some of Nairobi’s and the country’s generally, drug distribution systems.
The National Police Service reaffirmed its resolve to step up intelligence led operations against traffickers and suppliers and enhance community policing programs against proliferation of illegal drugs.
