Detectives on Tuesday afternoon confi****ed ****** and *************** worth m***ions of sh***ings, which was destined for New Zealand and China.

The contraband ********* were found at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) concealed in a carton containing makeup kits. Investigations already commenced to nab t**se involved, according to a statement from the Directorate of C***inal Investigations (DCI).

The seizure could mark renewed efforts by smugglers to use Kenya as a transit point for ******* *********.

Last month, a Mombasa court found two people,  Ahmed Bakari and Clement Bristol, ****** of *********** ****** intercepted in April 2015 while on transit in a luxury yatch. They were jailed for 10 years.

The confi****ed *************** *****.

Five crew members were ******** with the ***** in the vessel that was travelling from Seychelles to Tanzania via Kenya.

Police said the ********, four Kenyans and a Seychellois, were part of an international ****-*********** syndicate.

The government later blew up the consignment using ********** on August 14, 2015. It was destroyed inside the Indian Ocean.

In April, Anti-********* police arrrested a man after he was found in possession of 25 kilogrammes of ****** with a street value of Ksh 25 m***ion at JKIA.

Recently, the Akasha brothers – Baktash Akasha and Ibrahim Akasha – pleaded ****** to **** *********** charges in New York. The two were ******** in Kenya and extradited to the US to face the charges.
