Police in Kenya have arrested a suspect in possession of 327kg of bhang in Voi, the Coastal part of the East African country.
Patrick Odoyo Jabuya was arrested en route to Mombasa from Nairobi.
“Acting on a tip-off, the joint team of DCI and Kenya Police Service officers erected a roadblock at Ikanga area of Voi, flagging down the 45-year-old driver while on frantic efforts to turn about and escape,” said the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Upon search, 11 gunny bags containing bhang and 963 big rolls of the drug were found, alongside two extra sets of number plates.
The cargo, estimated at a street value of Ksh9.
8 million ($74500), was seized and escorted to Voi Police Station.
Legal procedures have been instigated, including detaining the vehicle fitted with the registration number, which is believed to be a result of the trade.
