“The move prompted a hot chase, but not for long, as the Prado got stuck in a ditch, to the disappointment of the determined occupants. Even so, the driver managed to scamper into nearby thickets and holed up,” said the DCI. “Not so lucky though for Collins Otieno, who was cornered and helped to a police car alongside six sacks of bhang that were found stashed in their vehicle. A reflective motor vehicle plate with the number KDL 841X was also found in a carrier bag.”

The authorities did not disclose the street value of the hard drugs but reported that the haul weighed approximately 146 kg.

The suspect was taken to Suneka Police Station by the police for further processing. The seized narcotics and the vehicle were then transported to Kisii Central Police Station for further investigation, while the authorities continued to pursue another individual who was in the car with the suspect.
