Detectives in Narok County have arrested 12 suspected drug dealers and seized bhang worth Sh500,000 following an outcry from the members of public.

Narok County Police commander Kizito Mutoro has said the 12 include one notorious woman who is believed to be the mastermind of the gang.

The gang was arrested in Narok town by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations officers and police officers.

Mutoro said the bhang was being transported from the Tanzania border to other parts of the country before it was intercepted in Narok.

“This is like a middle ground because the drug was being transported from the Tanzania border towards the coastal regions,” he said.
