Detectives in Kenya have traced the origin of a large methamphetamine seizure to Pakistan. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) confirmed the link during a press briefing in Mombasa. The drugs, valued at Ksh3.6 billion, were destined for East African and South African markets.
Three suspects, including two foreign nationals, were arrested following the operation in Kwale County. The seized methamphetamine weighed 454 kilograms. The DCI director, Mohamed Amin, stated the drugs were intended for multiple countries in the region. The operation highlights ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in East Africa.
This is the second major drug seizure linked to Pakistan in recent months. Previous operations have targeted smuggling routes through the Indian Ocean. The DCI has increased surveillance along coastal areas to intercept illegal drug shipments. The connection to Pakistan underscores the complexity of transnational drug networks. The case is under further investigation.
