The sleuths from DCI in collaboration with other multi-agency players have recovered drugs worth millions of shillings.
The drugs were stashed in an additional compartment created inside the two lorries, making it unnoticeable from the police during transportation.
This was confirmed on Sunday by Deputy Director Anti-Narcotics Unit Janet Shako.
She said that investigations have revealed that the proceeds of the sale of such drugs have a direct link with the funding of terror activities within the region.
Shako said that organised criminal groups are finding new ways to transport drugs and that the detectives are on the lookout.
“Over the last one month, drugs worth millions of shillings while being transported to various destination. Individuals found transporting the same drugs have been arraigned,” Shako said.
Isiolo-Moyale route has been found to be a major road transporting the drugs.
She also said that criminals behind drug transportation have been using various methods of concealment ranging from water boozers, fuel tankers, and creating additional compartments in lories and vehicles.
139 bags containing bhang worth Sh20.9 million street value was recovered from the first lorry while the second one had 122 bags worth Sh12 million.
Each bag according to the DCI weighed 40 kilograms and were being transported from Moyale to Nairobi.
It's suspected that the consignment was from Ethiopia. Five people including four men and a woman were arrested during the operations.
