Suspect arrested, 600 cylinders seized as police raid illegal gas refilling plantPolice raided an illegal gas refilling plant in Syokimau, Mombasa Road and netted an assortment of empty gas cylinders. During the multi-agency raid led by Anti-Counterfeit Authority (ACA) inspectors, a suspect was arrested, 600 empty cylinders of different trademarks and two vehicles were seized. Some of the new changes included a requirement for all LPG cylinders retailers, wholesalers, and transporters to hold licenses from them for each business location. The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder exchange pool that allowed consumers easy access to gas was also disbanded to deal with illegal refilling. The new rules were meant to ensure user safety, by placing the responsibility of making sure gas cylinders are safe on the LPG marketers.
