Police in Moyale have seized 500Kg of bhang & arrested one suspect in a stealth operation to curtail trafficking of narcotics in the region.
The operation was launched after police received intelligence information that a lorry had been spotted at a thicket at Kate in Moyale while loaded with a suspicious consignment.
Swinging into action, the law enforcers rushed to the location where a trailer loaded with 99 bales of the illicit drug estimated at a street value of Sh 10M was intercepted and the cargo seized.
The operation also saw the trailer driver - Charles Bosire, arrested, but not without a confrontation as two suspected accomplices emerged riding on a motorcycle while firing frenziedly at the officers.
In self defense, the officers retaliated forcing the assailants to flee. In the melee, the suspect sustained a gunshot wound in his abdomen & was rushed to Moyale Hospital for treatment.
As he recuperates ahead of his arraignment for contravening anti-narcotic laws, the recoveries have been processed and secured as exhibits.
