Police in Mwatate,Taita Taveta have nabbed 322 litres of illicit brew commonly known as ‘M'bangara’.
24 suspects were also arrested in the Sunday night operation.
Deputy County Commissioner Kennedy Muriungi
said police acted on a tip-off that led to arrest in Mkuki mining site.
"They were hiding the brew in open mines at Mkuki where they usually sell to hundreds of people working in the mining sites," the administrator said.
Muriungi said at least 15,000 litres of illicit brew have been nabbed in Mwatate alone since the crackdown started in May.
He further warned those involved in the vice that stern actions shall be taken against them.
"I want to caution those running these illegal businesses and drug barons that we are coming for them. We won't rest until they are all brought to book," he said.
Two weeks ago, County Commissioner Rodah Onyancha directed all administrators to start a crackdown on the illicit brew in the county.
