The Kitengela POLICE have revealed a secret method used by illegal alcohol sellers where they use women’s handbags to pass the swag to avoid police traps as the campaign to fight the alcohol continues.
During a police search in Noonkopir street on Tuesday evening, the police found 50 liters of marijuana hidden in a woman’s bag in a liquor store.
In addition, it is said that fraudsters sell glitter packed in plastic sheets.
The police asked the public to be careful and search the oversized bags carried by women as they may be used to transport illegal alcohol and drugs.
“In the past, traders used to transport sorghum to Kitengela using cars. We are aware that women are now transporting illegal alcohol using their handbags. In some bars, women’s handbags are used to deceive police officers,” said the officer in charge of Kitengela police station David Ole Shani.
In addition, the officer said that his officers are investigating bodaboda operators who are suspected of being used to transport sand from Nairobi to Kitengela.
On that day, police officers led by Ole Sani seized 100 liters of clarinet packed in plastic sheets in the Migingo area.
In addition, several people were arrested for being drunk.
The owner of two bars in the same plot in the area known as “Omosh” managed to avoid the police trap. Some of the alcoholics found in this area were women accompanied by their children under the age of 10.
“In this area, women and young people continue to gather in bars to drink alcohol despite the ongoing search. A large number of women are now addicted to alcohol,” says resident Magdalene Mbatia.
Police raided a movie kiosk and seized 500 twists of marijuana.
The owner of the kiosk, a 21-year-old man, was arrested for selling the drug.
Residents want the search to continue to save young people from perishing in the midst of alcohol and drug abuse.
