A suspect was apprehended along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway, leading to the recovery of 80 bales of bhang. This operation took place on Monday, orchestrated by detectives from the Anti-narcotics Unit in collaboration with officers from Lari police station.
The vigilant officers managed to stop a vehicle driven by the suspect, and a subsequent search uncovered a stash of drugs cleverly hidden in a secret compartment.
Both the suspect and the vehicle were taken to the DCI headquarters, where a detailed examination revealed 80 bales of dry green plant material believed to be narcotics, concealed within a false compartment of the vehicle.
These narcotics are often mixed with various chemicals to enhance their potency before being sealed at the border and transported to markets, particularly in Nairobi and Mombasa.
Authorities have ramped up their efforts to combat this issue, even as traffickers continuously adapt their routes.
