Police in Kericho seize bhang worth Sh5 million

Rolls of bhang

Police from Ainamoi have impounded bhang with a street value of Sh4.9m.

Police commander James Mugera said the narcotic stacked in nine 90kgs bags weighing 232kgs, was being ferried in a Toyota Spacio.

“The driver of the vehicle defied orders to stop at a temporary roadblock that had been erected by members of the community policing and ran over the boulders,” he said.

Mugera said after driving through the first temporary roadblock, the driver ran into another roadblock ahead and was unable to drive further. 

“The driver with another occupant jumped off and fled on foot,” he said. Police have launched a manhunt. “We appeal to wananchi to partner with police to help curb such cases,” he said.
