New details have emerged in the case of six Iranians accused of trafficking drugs worth Ksh8 billion along the Kenyan coast.
According to reports, detectives from the Anti-Narcotics Unit found seven electronic devices, including a GPS tracker.
According to the detectives, these could help determine the origin of the shipment, the intended trafficking routes and the financiers behind the operation.
Reports indicate that the unmarked vessel carrying the Iranians was intercepted approximately 630 kilometres off the coast of Mombasa by a joint team consisting of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI), the Kenyan Navy, the Kenyan Coast Guard, and NACADA.
In the boat, detectives discovered 769 packages of illegal drugs thought to be methamphetamine, worth approximately Ksh8 billion.
The prosecution has arranged for the detectives to detain them for 21 days to allow further investigations.
