Police seize 249 rolls of bhang in Bomet as anti-narcotics crackdown intensifies

Police in Bomet have seized 249 rolls of bhang as authorities intensify efforts to curb the trafficking and distribution of narcotics in the county.

Bomet police have seized 249 rolls of suspected cannabis sativa in a night operation in Chemomul Village, Bomet Central Sub-county. Acting on public information, officers intercepted a red Boxer 100 motorcycle with a rider, a passenger, and a suspicious sack. The motorcycle's occupants abandoned the vehicle and its contents upon police challenge.

Subsequent search uncovered the cannabis rolls, which officers secured as evidence. The fleeing suspects are now persons of interest, prompting a manhunt. Police commend public cooperation in the fight against illicit drugs and brews. The public is urged to report criminal activities to the nearest police station or via toll-free numbers 999 and 911, or anonymously through designated channels.

The latest seizure adds to ongoing operations targeting drug movement and distribution across Kenya. The street value of the recovered cannabis has not been disclosed.
