Sunday, May 26, 2024 - Detectives are pursuing a 29-year-old suspected violent robber and drug trafficker in whose house in Murunya area of Mutuati, Meru County was found a loaded AK47 rifle and a bale of bhang hidden in a chimney.

Acting on a tip-off, Anti-Narcotics detectives augmented by their Transnational Organized Crimes Unit counterparts raided the two-bedroom house of the suspect (Geoffrey Thiranira), where upon search, the rifle loaded with a magazine of 20 live rounds and a bale of bhang were found.

However, the suspect who must have got wind of the police presence escaped, but the sleuths are hot on his trail.
