In a significant blow to drug trafficking networks in Kenya, the National Police Service (NPS) announced the recovery of 75 bales believed to be dried cannabis sativa during a targeted operation in Ambalo, located in the Sololo Sub-County of Marsabit County. The successful bust took place on Saturday, June 14, 2025, and resulted in the arrest of two suspects now in custody.
The NPS released an official statement confirming the operation was intelligence-led and part of its broader mission to curb the illegal drug trade across the country. "In line with the National Police Service (NPS) commitment to combating drug trafficking, police officers today, 14 June 2025, conducted a successful intelligence-led operation in Ambalo, Sololo Sub-County, Marsabit County," the statement read.
Authorities say the suspects were intercepted while traveling in a vehicle that had been under surveillance. The operation began in Uran, where the vehicle was first identified, and extended toward the Marsabit-Moyale Highway.
