Detectives in Mombasa have unravelled an international drug trafficking syndicate along Kenya’s Coast, Tanzania and the Indian Ocean islands of Seychelles and Madagascar.
This follows discovery of 7.6 kilogrammes of heroin on a luxury yacht at the port of Mombasa on Monday, a week after it was dragged from Kilifi where it had been parked. Five men, including a Seychellois, the boat’s captain, and four Kenyans, were arrested in the car with 2 kilogrammes and police say they led them to the luxury Baby Iris Yacht laden with the drugs.
