A 42-year-old man suspected of drug trafficking has been arrested in Nakuru, with detectives recovering heroin valued at approximately Ksh.1.19 million.
In a statement, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said officers from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) intercepted Ephantus Kariuki while he was riding a motorcycle and exhibiting suspicious behavior. A subsequent search led to the recovery of 397 grams of heroin.
In addition to the narcotics, detectives seized two syringes and needles, ten rolls of bhang, and three packets of Super-match cigarettes. Investigators believe Kariuki was in the process of distributing the drugs at the time of his arrest.
The suspect has been placed in police custody as investigations continue, ahead of his arraignment in court.
