The weapons, according to DCI, are suspected to have been sneaked into the country for terror activities by Joyce Muthoni Mwihia and her mother Goretti Mwihia, who hold dual citizenship.
The recovered cache of arms and ammunition included an M4 sniper rifle, four pistols, a close-quarter Uzi automatic submachine gun and an assortment of over 3,700 rounds of ammunition of different caliber.
“Also recovered in the operation were four pistols and a close quarter Uzi automatic submachine gun, capable of firing over 600 rounds per minute,” DCI said.
The two are currently in custody as police seek more time to conduct investigations and allow for a ballistic examination of the cache.
