Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have impounded two lorries carrying illegal LPG containers believed to be en route to the Meru Market in the latest crackdown.

In a collaborative effort with police officers from Meru Police Station, the DCI officers quelled the illegal transportation of the gas cylinders after a tip-off from members of the public.

During the operation, detectives impounded tens of illegal gas cylinders, including one which was leaking dangerously.

Four suspects have since been arrested at Gitimbene in Meru Town and are set to be arraigned in court on Monday, September 17.
