DCI detectives arrested a 27-year-old woman suspected of trafficking heroin on Tuesday evening, and 30 pellets of the highly addictive drug were recovered from her.
The woman, a Ugandan national identified as Bizu Rubi Halima, was arrested at a hotel room in Hamza along Jogoo road. She is believed to have been waiting for her Kenyan contact to deliver the drugs to him.
The pellets were carefully concealed as potato crisps.
Transnational and organized crimes detectives pounced on her following a tip-off from the public members.
“As the detectives pursue her accomplices, the suspect is being processed for arraignment,” said DCI.
