Police have intercepted bhang worth Sh1.2 million on Thika-Garissa highway.

The officers from Makongeni Police station intercepted the drug inside a private car and arrested two suspects.

The sacks of bhang (pictured) were stashed in the car's boot. County Police Commander Adiel Nyange said documents found inside the vehicle indicated that the suspects may have been involved in a similar case that is before court.

Police said the drug originated from Migori County.

“We are working with our counterparts in Migori to know who sent it,” said Nyange.
