Upon interception, search and confiscation of the stowed stockpile, the two occupants and the KBS 601 M Actross lorry were escorted to DCI Headquarters.

The lorry has since been detained and the rest of the exhibits processed by Crime Scene Investigators, as the two suspects await arraignment today (Monday).

The SSU sleuths were acting on an intelligence report of a notorious criminal syndicate that guises as builders of the nation, while trading in the illegal drugs from Wajir using branded vehicles.
