The foreigners were nabbed by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations’ (DCI) Anti-Narcotics Unit at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Thursday night.

Their arrest came after two kilograms of heroin were found in their bags during a routine search at the Nairobi airport. The drugs had been concealed at the false bottoms of their suitcases.

Police said the two, 20-year-old Stendelis Rokas, and 30-year-old Brencius Karolis, were headed to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

They were placed in lawful custody as drug trafficking suspects as investigations continue.
