Police in Kilindini, Mombasa County, have arrested two people who were found in possession of 26 kilograms of bhang.

Anti-narcotics officers detained Collins Omondi and Halima Masudi Hassan on Friday.

The detectives targeted Omondi at the Likoni Matatu Station, where he purportedly received a suspicious item from Tanga, Tanzania. He placed the luggage in his Subaru Treza (Reg. No. KDE 948E).
