Police have intercepted a passenger bus along the Thika Garissa Highway carrying live ammunition and suspected government stores in what authorities described as a serious security threat.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, officers made the discovery during a routine inspection at a multi-agency roadblock in Kanyonyoo.
Inside a metallic box in the bus boot, officers recovered 19 rounds of 7.62x51mm G3 ammunition, 116 rounds of 7.62x39mm AK-47 ammunition, two empty AK-47 magazines, and two machetes.
Police also found a full set of General Service Unit ceremonial attire, two combat jackets, three jungle green trousers, and a red beret.
Authorities said the parcel had been booked from Mokowe without sender details, raising suspicion over its source and intended destination.
The bus driver and conductor were arrested and taken to Kanyonyoo Police Station alongside the vehicle and seized items.
Detectives say investigations are ongoing and more arrests are possible as they pursue those behind the consignment.
