By MN Reporter

Police officers have recovered over SH13 milion stashed in sacks during a raid in a Nairobi slum.

An anti-narcotics raid by the officers acting on a tip off found the money stashed together with a consignment of cannabis sativa.

In a report seen by Migori News, police said the recovery was found “following an intelligence led operation conducted by sleuths from the Anti-Narcotics Unit and Trans National Organised Crime Unit.”

Police arrested four suspects found at the scene in the sprawling slums of Kariua, in Nairobi’s Ngara neighborhood.

“A detailed search led to the recovery of two gunny bags where the millions of shillings had been stashed, 26 bags of cannabis, 4 cartons of rolling materials, 173 packaged sweets and a carton of suspected weed cookies,” police said.

The suspects have been identified as 54-year-old Teresia Wanjiru and three juveniles aged between 16 and 17.

They will be arraigned in court after police complete their investigations.
