Two Lithuanian Nationals Arrested at JKIA Carrying 2Kgs of Heroin

Police in Nairobi are holding two Lithuanian nationals in connection with drug trafficking.

The foreigners were nabbed by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations’ (DCI) Anti-Narcotics Unit at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Thursday night.

Their arrest came after two kilograms of heroin were found in their bags during a routine search at the Nairobi airport. The drugs had been concealed at the false bottoms of their suitcases.

Police said the two, 20-year-old Stendelis Rokas, and 30-year-old Brencius Karolis, were headed to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

They were placed in lawful custody as drug trafficking suspects as investigations continue.
