Police in Bungoma have seized bhang worth Sh15 million at Sango area in Webuye town and arrested one suspect.
Acting on tip-off from the public, security officers nabbed the narcotics while being ferried in a container along Malaba-Eldoret highway.
The truck was intercepted near Pan Paper mills leading to discovery of 10 bags of the drug each packed in 550 kilograms.
The consignment, police believe, was destined for Mombasa from Uganda.
Webuye East sub-county police commander Martha Ngetich said the driver Charles Mutuku Kamuya had been detained at Webuye Police Station where the vehicle was towed to.
“He (driver) is assisting in ongoing investigations which seek to among others arrest other suspects involved in the illegal business,” Ms Ngetich said, while hailing residents for information sharing.
