Webuye police have arrested a 55-year-old suspect for transporting 550 kilograms of bhang whose street value is estimated at millions of shilling.

The suspect was arrested at the Malaba border on Tuesday at 6 am following a tip-off from an anonymous member of the public.

Chief Officer Gloria Ng’etich said East Webuye Station police worked in tandem with their counterparts in Kakamega in an operation that led to the arrest of the suspect in the Pan Paper area.

Ng’etich cautioned the area residents against handling smuggled goods.

She added that the police will beef up the security in areas considered crime hotspots.
