Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested a suspect in a targeted operation aimed at dismantling transnational drug trafficking networks.
The operation was conducted by officers from the Transnational Organized Crime Unit (TOCU) following credible intelligence.
Police intercepted a passenger bus, registration number KDV 716C, belonging to Crane Coach, which was travelling from Busia to Nairobi.
The vehicle was stopped at Limuru along the Nairobi–Nakuru Highway, where detectives carried out a targeted search.
During the operation, officers recovered one wrapped bundle of greenish plant material concealed in a polythene bag, along with two smaller packages containing similar substances, all suspected to be cannabis (bhang).
The suspect, identified as Ruth Wambui Muthiri, 53, was taken into custody and escorted to Muthaiga Police Station for processing.
The case has since been handed over to the Anti-Narcotics Unit at DCI Headquarters for further investigations and possible prosecution.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations reiterated its commitment to detecting, deterring, and dismantling organized criminal enterprises, particularly those involved in cross-border drug trafficking.
Authorities have urged members of the public to continue supporting law enforcement by sharing actionable information through the “Fichua Kwa DCI” reporting platform.
