Detectives in Moyale Sub County seized narcotic drugs stashed in four bean sacks on Monday following a tip-off from the public.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said that officers received reports of a "suspicious person with four sacks of beans" at Liban bus booking office prompting an immediate police response.
"Upon arrival, they discovered that the sacks had been left unattended at the entrance of the said booking office, and the owner was nowhere to be found, as he was claimed to have gone for authorization papers from KRA office," said DCI on X.
The officers are said to have used a sniffer dog which identified a suspicious item inside the sacks.
Officers then took the sacks to DCI Moyale offices where they were opened, revealing 22 bales of cannabis sativa with an estimated street value of Kshs.435,000.
The recovered consignment is being kept under lawful custody as exhibit.
Meanwhile, a manhunt is on for the suspects who are still at large.
