"While on routine beat and patrol duties in the wee hours of the day at Ratike area along the Busia-Kisumu road, the police officers stumbled upon the haul of narcotics beside the road, supposedly abandoned when its owners sighted the law enforcers." said DCI
"A quick look around nearby thickets revealed a disturbed vegetation cover, evidencing presence of hoodlums monitoring police activities, hoping to grab and flee with the cargo should they get a chance." DCI added.
