Police in Nairobi are holding an ice cream vendor accused of being in possession of narcotics.
According to the police, the man was arrested over the weekend in Pangani Estate while using his cool box to hawk the drugs.
The police suspect that the latter is among a group of peddlers deployed to supply drugs from Mathare estate to the neighbouring areas.
The 34-year-old man was reportedly caught with sachets of heroin, methcathinone and cocaine in his icebox.
The police also recovered surgical gloves, cotton wool, a syringe, three lighters, two scalpels, a weighing machine and new hypodermic needles, reports the Standard.
The law enforcers now suspect that the tact is one of the new techniques that have been adopted by peddlers in their daily operations, to avoid suspicion.
This follows complains from anti-narcotic campaigners that the police have been unable to stop the trade by arresting the main drug cartels.
Instead, they claim, the police are only focusing on mules and peddlers, while the main figures continue operating from behind the scenes, making it impossible to slay the menace.
This comes only days after 135 bales of bhang were nabbed in Nakuru Town while being transported in a petrol tanker.
