Detectives in Kenya have arrested 29 suspects after a three-day, intelligence-led operation uncovered suspected counterfeit goods, smuggled cigarettes, illicit alcohol, falsified medicines and wildlife crimes worth more than Sh62.7 million. The crackdown, dubbed Usalama XII, ran across seven regions, including Nairobi, Central, Coast, Rift Valley, Eastern, Nyanza and Western. It involved the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and INTERPOL, alongside other law enforcement agencies. Police targeted illegal trade and organised crime using intelligence-led enforcement. The multi-agency exercise also delivered major non-product findings, including the rescue of seven suspected human trafficking victims. Officers seized large quantities of alleged counterfeit consumer items. In Nairobi, detectives recovered suspected counterfeit electrical accessories and vehicle parts worth millions of shillings, including 3,991 counterfeit Samsung and iPhone adapters, 1,963 football jerseys and Adidas balls, plus beauty products, spare parts and lubricants. Investigators also recovered falsified medicines and diverted public medical supplies from an unlicensed clinic in Kayole. In Eastleigh, NANIB detectives seized bottles suspected to contain narcotic or psychotropic substances from a pharmacy for further analysis. In Westlands, police arrested a suspect at a recruitment agency operating without a licence. Officers recovered 85 Kenyan passports, work visas and employment contracts from the premises. Separate action in Roysambu saw three girls rescued from suspected sexual exploitation, while in Gilgil, four Somali nationals were intercepted as suspected trafficking victims, including two minors. Other arrests followed across the country. In Nakuru, a suspect was arrested while transporting 90,000 sticks of smuggled cigarettes valued at about Sh2 million, with counterfeit excise stamps also recovered. Central and Nyanza operations led to seizures of counterfeit and unmarked alcoholic beverages, along with suspected counterfeit mobile phones, storage devices and footwear. Wildlife-related enforcement was part of the same push. KWS-led officers recovered 37.5 kilogrammes of dik-dik carcasses in Tana River and about 40 kilogrammes at Kuranze Ranch, seized four kilogrammes of zebra meat in Tsavo East, 1,500 cedar posts in Narok and 75 mangrove rafters in Malindi. At Lake Nakuru National Park, officers recovered 552.3 kilogrammes of fish and arrested nine suspects, seizing an illegal fishing boat, fishing nets and hunting equipment. Police also carried out vehicle checks in Mombasa and other participating areas, recording 198 vehicles with no adverse findings in the specified verification exercises. Investigations into the seized goods and arrested suspects were ongoing, including forensic analysis of suspected psychoactive substances and verification of counterfeit goods. The DCI said the operation is part of continued efforts by DCI and partners to fight organised and transnational crime, protect consumers and legitimate businesses, safeguard vulnerable people and conserve natural resources.
