Police in Lari Sub-County have intercepted a tanker transporting 10,000 litres of suspected industrial ethanol along the Nairobi–Nakuru Highway, in what authorities believe may have been an attempt to supply an illicit alcohol manufacturing operation in Nairobi.
Three occupants of the tanker were arrested and are expected to assist investigators in establishing the source and intended destination of the consignment.
Kiambu County Commissioner George Matundura says samples of the substance have been submitted to the Government Chemist for analysis to establish whether it is industrial ethanol.
