This comes after detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations detained a vehicle filled with cannabis and illicit wine on Tuesday night.
When the car was stopped, it was transporting three Catholic nuns from Malaba to a convent in Karen, Nairobi, according to the police.
Detectives from the DCI Langata section are thought to have waved down the vehicle along the southern bypass, but the driver refused to stop, resulting in a high-speed chase.
“Their prayers were finally answered when the ill-fated jalopy they were traveling in, failed to match the speed of the Subaru hatchback used by the detectives, forcing the driver to jump from the vehicle as they approached Kabage area and disappeared into the darkness,” the DCI added.
13 bales of cannabis Sativa and three jerrycans holding 35 liters of locally distilled Chang'aa brew were discovered in the truck after the long Chase.

“The sisters who were at pains to distance themselves from the drugs explained to the detectives that they had earlier boarded the vehicle at Malaba on the Kenya-Uganda border, paid their fare and the driver was just about to drop them off in Karen when the detectives flagged down the vehicle,” DCI said.
