Four suspects have been arrested in Athi River, Machakos County, following a targeted anti-narcotics operation that led to the recovery of multiple packages and bales of dry cannabis.
The suspects, Marieta Mbula Nzuki, Irene Muthike, Josphat Maina, and Margaret Mbithe were apprehended during coordinated raids conducted by officers from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) and the Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU).
Acting on credible intelligence, the officers stormed two mabati houses in Kisumu Ndogo and a rented residential house at Ngimo Apartment, where the narcotics were recovered.
The suspects were subsequently escorted to Muthaiga Police Station, where they are undergoing processing ahead of their arraignment in court.
“The Directorate of Criminal Investigations remains resolute in its commitment to dismantling drug trafficking networks and protecting our communities, especially the youth, from the scourge of narcotic drugs,” the DCI says.
