Two women were arrested in Thika for drugging unsuspecting victims before robbing them of their valuables.

Mary Mathari and Mary Gathiaka were arrested on Friday after an intelligence report was issued against

them.

DCI said the detectives recovered several tablets of Stilnox drugs used to stupefy people in clubs and several SIM cards.

"The SIM cards which were registered in different names are believed to have been used to withdraw money from the victims bank accounts," DCI said in a tweet.

The two suspects will be arraigned on Monday.
