Detectives from Kenya's Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have intercepted a vehicle allegedly carrying illicit alcohol from Uganda. According to DCI sources, the operation was initiated after receiving intelligence that the alcohol was being transported through the region. The DCI's Kiminini and Chwele units pursued a Toyota Wish from Kiminini towards the Mali Saba (Emuro) area.
Upon realizing they were being pursued, the driver and a passenger abandoned the vehicle, leaving it running as it struck a roadside structure and came to a halt. A search of the vehicle yielded 24 cartons of Jonney's alcohol, with each carton holding 24 bottles of 200ml, and 10 cartons of White Gin, each containing 24 bottles of 200ml.
The seized alcohol was secured at Kiminini Police Station for further investigation pending any necessary processing. Police are now working to locate and apprehend the driver and passenger, as well as determine the owner of the vehicle. The DCI has reiterated its commitment to thwarting the trafficking and distribution of illicit alcohol and safeguarding communities from its adverse impacts.
