Sunday, June 1, 2025 - A multi-agency team comprising of the National Police Service and other government enforcement agencies intercepted a motor vehicle suspected of transporting contraband goods at the Lunga Lunga One Stop Border Post in Kwale County.
The vehicle, an Isuzu lorry with registration number T199
BHP, was being driven by one Musakawa Hamadi. Upon thorough inspection,
authorities discovered 144 concealed bags of Brazilian sugar, each weighing 50
kg, hidden beneath a load of fresh oranges in an apparent attempt to evade
detection.
The consignment was intended for illegal entry into Kenya,
contravening customs and importation regulations.
The vehicle and its contents have since been detained at the
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) premises, pending further investigation and
interrogation by the multi-agency team. National Police Service strongly warns
the public against involvement in the smuggling or distribution of contraband
goods.
The Service, in collaboration with other Government agencies,
remains vigilant and firmly committed to protecting national security and
economic integrity by combating illicit trade.
