The officers manning the report office desk discovered bhang concealed within a loaf of bread that Achieng had brought for her boyfriend. Five rolls of bhang and a matchbox were found inside the loaf, leading to a further search of the woman's jacket revealing a total of twelve rolls of bhang. Achieng was detained and expected to be arraigned, prompting an investigation into whether she is a regular peddler. This incident follows another attempt to deliver contraband to a suspect in custody at Ruai police station, where a woman attempting to deliver a plier concealed in a pack of rice was arrested. In Thika, a high-speed motorcycle chase ended in a crash, leading to the arrest of John Mwangi, aka \"Bombay,\" on spot. Over 300 rolls of bhang were recovered from Mwangi's possession, along with an additional three kilograms wrapped in yellow polythene. Mwangi is currently in custody at Kimuchu Police Station undergoing processing pending arraignment.",
