In a major crackdown on smuggling, law enforcement officers domiciled at Mandera Police Station intercepted a lorry and confiscated 190 bags of uncustomed sugar.
According to DCI, the officers were acting on a tip-off from the public.
The officers swiftly responded to reports of a lorry loaded with uncustomed goods in the Siftu area along the Kenya-Ethiopia border. The lorry was promptly intercepted.
"Upon inspection, it was confirmed that the lorry was transporting 190 bags, each weighing 25 kg, of uncustomed sugar," DCI said.
"The vehicle was then escorted to Mandera Police Station, where it is currently detained pending further inspection by KRA customs officers."
