Police Raid Leads to Major Discovery
Security officers in Kwale County have arrested a woman suspected of engaging in drug trafficking following a targeted operation in the Zibani area.
The raid, which was based on prior intelligence, led officers to the suspect’s residence where they conducted a thorough search.
100 Kilos of Bhang Recovered
During the operation, police discovered a significant stash of bhang, weighing approximately 100 kilograms, hidden in the house. Authorities believe the quantity points to a well-organised drug distribution operation.
The seized cannabis, commonly referred to as bhang, is illegal under Kenyan law and remains a major concern for law enforcement agencies.

Detectives are also working to establish whether she was acting alone or as part of a larger network involved in the drug trade.

Security officials urged members of the public to cooperate with authorities by reporting suspicious activities, as part of efforts to curb the spread of illegal substances.
