The bhang was nabbed following a tip off from members of the public after one the vehicles being used by the suspects developed a mechanical problem, forcing them to seek help from a nearby home at Kirimon area on Friday evening.

“They told the man that, ‘this vehicle has developed a mechanical problem, let it remain here we will come for it tomorrow morning.’ They were offloading some things from the vehicle and when asked what was being transported, the suspects lied to him that it was medicine to cure cancer disease but he doubted and reported them to police officers at Kirimon Police Patrol base,” said Mr Muiruri outside Maralal Police Station.
