Police arrested two people who allegedly sold heroin drugs during a major operation that took place in Mombasa. The police arrested two men who sold drugs after their detectives found more than 4 million shillings worth of heroin during a major operation. The police officer team from Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) and Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU) and Kiembeni Police Station executed their joint operation to capture the suspects.
Intelligence-Led Raid
The team used their intelligence information to conduct a house search operation at the Barawa area which had a high perimeter wall as its only accessible entry point. The property search resulted in the discovery of heroin sachets which were hidden in two bedrooms while another package remained buried at a concealed area of the compound.
Large Quantity of Drugs and Equipment Seized
Authorities recovered 1,346 grams of heroin which has a street value of Sh4,092,000. The officers discovered a digital weighing scale and a drying machine which proved that the suspects ran an advanced narcotics operation.
Suspects in Custody
The police arrested Tawaida Ali Said and Shamim Abubakar who now face police detention while detectives complete their investigation process before they enter the courtroom.
Authorities Emphasize Multi-Agency Efforts
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) established that intelligence-led operations together with law enforcement agency partnerships serve as vital elements needed to dismantle drug trafficking networks. The DCI spokesperson stated that our operation success proves our dedication to fighting drug problems while keeping our communities safe from narcotic dangers.
Call for Public Support
The authorities requested the public to provide actual intelligence information which would assist them in stopping drug trafficking operations throughout Mombasa County because community participation serves as the essential element needed to combat organized crime activities.
