Kenyan authorities have linked a large methamphetamine seizure to Pakistan, according to a report by Eastleigh Voice. Detectives recovered 454 kilograms of suspected methamphetamine, valued at Sh3.6 billion, during an operation in Kwale. Three suspects, including two foreign nationals, were arrested. The drugs were believed to be destined for East Africa and South Africa.
The operation was part of a broader effort to combat drug trafficking in the region. Officials stated the drugs were likely to be smuggled across borders, posing a threat to public health. The suspects are currently in custody, and further investigations are ongoing.
This seizure highlights the growing challenge of drug trafficking in East Africa, with links to international networks. Previous operations have targeted local and regional drug syndicates, but this case marks a significant link to Pakistan. Authorities are now working to trace the full extent of the network and prevent further distribution.
