Detectives have arrested two suspects after uncovering a clandestine drug lab hidden inside a private compound in Mwabungo village, Ukunda, in Kwale.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said officers from the Anti-Narcotics Unit and the Kenya Police conducted the raid following days of surveillance and intelligence gathering.
The suspects, Gianardi Giulio, a 37-year-old Italian national, and Moses Nanoka Egadwa, were arrested at the scene.
Police recovered laboratory equipment and chemicals believed to be used in the manufacture of narcotics, along with packaging material labelled with names of known drugs.
