A woman has been arrested after being found in possession of bhang worth more than Sh1 million.

 The woman had 93 bales of the narcotic in her house in Dudi village in Rachuonyo South.

Police got wind of the narcotics stash after a tip from members of the public and conducted a raid.

This was after residents grew suspicious of frequent comings and goings in the homestead by youths of ill-repute.

Police Commander Marius Tum said they were holding the suspect at Oyugis Police Station for interrogation, adding that they would seek a court order to destroy the bhang.
