“Detectives from the Transnational Organized Crime Unit (TOCU) and the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) launched a crackdown against drug trafficking in the Kenanie area along Kangundo Road, Mavoko Sub County. The crackdown resulted in the arrest of three notorious drug traffickers and the seizure of a substantial haul of cannabis.
Fueled by intelligence, the detectives set their sights on a grey Nissan Note Registration No. KDE 474W. As the pursuit intensified, the driver, Fred Ng’ang’a, sensed the heat and abandoned his vehicle, darting into a nearby thicket. But the officers were hot on his trail, quickly apprehending him. Under pressure, Ng’ang’a led the team to a hidden stash in his two-room store.
In the store, detectives recovered 15 bags of bhang, five in one room and ten in another.” said DCI
