Thursday, December 5, 2024 - Police in Garissa have seized 88 bags of suspected contraband sugar being transported along the Modika-Modogashe road, after a hot chase on two motor vehicles by the Border Police patrol team.
While on mobile patrol in the dead of the night, the officers spotted two
suspicious Toyota Probox vehicles at Nuno area, but on approaching for a little
chat with the occupants, the drivers revved up the engines in a desperate move
to escape. They were immobilized.
On searching the vehicles, 88 bags of sugar branded SAHA each containing 25kg
were found. Both the sugar and the two vehicles Reg Nos. KDP 613D and KDN 745J
have been detained awaiting verification by a multi-agency team.
In a separate operation by Kimilili detectives in Bungoma County, hundreds of
bottles of second-generation liquor were also seized last evening, when a
motorist was ambushed in the course of its distribution.
Seized were 120 bottles of counterfeited Smart Vodka (250ml), 65 bottles of
County Spirits, Kibao Vodka (20 bottles) and 40 bottles of Chrome.
An inventory of the seizure was prepared and a multi-agency team has since
taken over the case.
As the country prepares for the festive season, members of the public are urged
to be wary of greedy liquor vendors whose only aim is capitalizing on profits
to the detriment of their customers' health.
