Police in Kenya on Sunday seized 379kgs cannabis sativa worth Ksh11 million (USD$74000) in Kisii, the Southwestern part of the country.
The seizure resulted from an intelligence-led operation conducted by Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives.
In a statement, DCI said that its officers were on patrol when they saw a white Toyota Prado loaded with a suspicious consignment heading towards a nearby Kilgoris town.

“He sped off at breakneck speed and upon reaching Magena area, he made a quick U-turn back towards Kanyenye,” said DCI.
When he realized he was being trailed, he abandoned the vehicle and escaped on foot.
The vehicle was towed to a nearby police station pending investigations.
