A Monday morning raid by sleuths drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations left suspected drug pushers scampering for safety in a Nairobi estate.
During the bust, detectives managed to nab a man who has since been identified as John Musyoka while his accomplice fled arrest.
In the raid at Mathare, police recovered thousands of suspected heroin drugs stashed in sachets.
The Drugs Enforcement agencies have been engaged in a purge throughout the country to control the prevalence of banned substances in the country.
earlier this month, sleuths acting on intelligence busted a woman in Mombasa who was found with heroin worth millions of shillings.
