Police in Thika have netted over 265 kilograms of bhang valued at over Sh5 million in Kiganjo Estate during the weekend.
Thika Sub County Police Commander Lawrence Muchangi said, working closely with members of the community policing, they managed to seize the narcotic drug which had been packed in eight gunny bags and loaded in a personal vehicle on Friday night.
Muchangi said three suspects who were aboard the vehicle managed to escape after they were confronted by the police. "Police on patrol spotted a vehicle that was packed by the roadside in the estate while dropping the gunny bags.
Upon getting close, the occupants of the vehicle fled leaving behind the consignment. "This made the police suspicious and after inspection, they realized the vehicle was loaded with bhang.
