Kenyan law enforcement agencies executed a series of intelligence-led operations over the past 24 hours, dealing major blows to illicit syndicates across Kajiado, Kiambu, Busia, and Nairobi counties.

The coordinated crackdowns netted multiple suspects alongside significant hauls of government property, narcotics, and counterfeit goods.

In Isinya, Kajiado County, police officers acting on a tip-off raided a hideout in Majengo Estate, where suspects were actively stripping copper wire.

Although the culprits fled before officers could close in, a search of an associated house yielded stolen copper wire, solar equipment, pliers, and an assortment of official Administration Police uniforms, including a beret, jungle jacket, and maroon belt.

Concurrently, a multi-agency operation targeted drug trafficking networks stretching from the central region to the western border.

In Kiambu East, detectives stormed a quiet residential property in Thindigua’s Runda Palm Garden and discovered a hidden cannabis plantation, arresting 32-year-old Geoffrey Otata at the scene.

In a separate sting within Ruiru, officers apprehended John Mutunga, 26, after finding him with 80 rolls of cannabis.

Miles away at the Kenya-Uganda border in Busia, vigilant officers intercepted a TVS motorcycle disguised as a produce delivery vehicle, discovering two large consignments of cannabis cunningly concealed inside a sack of potatoes.

The rider, 45-year-old Stephen Kimalo Juma, was taken into custody.

In Kasarani, Nairobi, the DCI officers dismantled a sophisticated counterfeit maize flour scheme.

Detectives raided a godown in the Canaan area near Infinity Industrial Park, exposing a covert factory where fake flour was being repackaged under established brand labels.

Seven suspects, including sales staff, loaders, a driver, and factory hands, were arrested on site.

Officers seized 3,682 packets of fake flour valued at over Sh312,120, along with thousands of empty branded bags, industrial sealing tools, batch-marking stamps, and a Hyundai lorry loaded with counterfeit stock.

Representatives from affected milling companies and the Anti-Counterfeit Authority have joined the investigation to verify the extent of the fraud.

All suspects across the four counties remain in police custody undergoing processing ahead of their respective court appearances.
