Two suspects were apprehended by detectives in a significant operation aimed at combating drug trafficking within the city.

The successful raid, executed earlier on Thursday, has resulted in the recovery of a substantial quantity of suspected cocaine.

Carried out in the early hours of the morning in the Buru Buru area, the operation was meticulously planned and executed by members of the Anti-Narcotics Unit.

The target of the raid was a residence located within the Harambee estate.

The subsequent search yielded a total of 18 pellets believed to contain cocaine, a potent and highly addictive narcotic.

Alongside the discovery of the suspected illicit substance, a significant amount of currency was also seized during the 6 a.m. operation.

The seized funds include $12,601 USD, €15 Euros, Sh509,495 Kenyan Shillings, Tsh24,000 Tanzanian Shillings, and 10,000 Angolan Kwanza.

These findings point to the financial gains made through drug trafficking activities.

The efforts of the detectives did not stop at the confiscation of drugs and currency.

Curtis Muli and Teresa Achieng, the two individuals present at the scene, were taken into custody during the raid.

Their arrest marks a crucial development in the ongoing investigation into the drug trafficking network.

A subsequent search of an adjacent property believed to serve as a stash house within the same vicinity produced additional evidence.

Among the discoveries were three test tubes, a digital weighing machine, and an identification card belonging to Curtis Muli Mutuku.

The total weight of the confiscated substance is estimated to be 0.244 grams, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

As the investigation continues to unfold, both suspects remain under detention at the Muthaiga police station.

The prolonged custody will facilitate deeper scrutiny of their involvement in the operation and pave the way for potential legal proceedings.

This successful operation comes hot on the heels of another recent achievement by the detectives.

Just a few days prior, a separate operation led to the arrest of a key figure known as Ngara's Mathe.

Believed to be a significant marijuana supplier within the city, the operation yielded a staggering Sh13.4 Million in cash and the seizure of 26 gunny bags packed with cannabis.


As law enforcement agencies persist in their unwavering commitment to quell the drug trade's detrimental impact on the city, these recent accomplishments underscore their effectiveness.

The ongoing crackdown sends a stern message to those entangled in illegal narcotics activities, reaffirming the authorities' dedication to upholding the community's safety and well-being.
