Jointly with officers from the Kenya Dairy Board and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), they conducted a search at the said AMS Wholesalers Limited where some products were recovered
These included 41 bags of HILWA Full Cream Milk Powder each 25 kg product of New Zealand and 25 bags of BROOKSIDE Full Cream Milk Powder each 25kg.
KRA officials estimated a taxable value of KSh1,650,000 on the products, which have since been taken as exhibits at the KRA Changamwe warehouse.
One suspect, Ahmed Salah Mohamed, who is the proprietor of the shop was arrested.
Upon interrogations, the suspect claimed to have acquired the consignment from an accomplice in the name of Dahir, whose warehouse is located in Shimanzi, Mombasa.
