Police in Kuresoi North intensified anti-narcotics operations with the arrest of three suspected peddlers found with multiple rolls of cannabis sativa at Kwa Manga in Nyota sub-location during routine patrol.[1][2]

Officers searching the trio uncovered concealed narcotics plus packaging materials believed used for distribution; the three were held at the sub-county station pending processing and arraignment while police probed the drugs’ source, destination and any wider network.[1]

Rural and peri-urban corridors like Nyota increasingly serve as narcotics transit routes from production zones to urban markets, prompting intelligence-led patrols and roadblocks.[1]
