A suspected trafficker has been arrested by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations while in possession of roughly 205 kilograms of bhang stashed in sacks.
The DCI reported that the bust took place on Sunday night in Komarock Phase 2 Estate, following a joint DCI operation.
Forty-one bales of bhang concealed in gunny sacks were seized at Hse No. 228, owned by Alah Mohamed Kala, and were recovered during the raid.
"The DCI has maintained that traffickers in narcotics must eschew illegal dealings and take on legitimate business ventures, or else continue suffering the heat of the unforgiving law."
"This follows heightened crackdowns across the country that have seen scores rounded up and tons of hard drugs including Bhang, Cocaine, Heroin and other club drugs seized."
According to DCI agents, the house's owner was arrested as a narcotics trafficking suspect.
"The seizure weighing 205kg estimated at a street value of Sh6.2 million was processed and marked as exhibit, alongside a Toyota Noah Reg. No. KBL 186E believed to be a proceed of the illegal trade," the DCI said in a statement to the media.
"Pursuit of Kala's accomplices is underway as he fervently prays for a route back to liberty."
