Detectives have arrested two suspects and recovered a consignment of cannabis during an operation in Kibwezi, Makueni County.
The National Anti-Narcotics Investigations Bureau (NANIB) officers acted on a tip-off before raiding a residential house suspected of being used to store and distribute narcotics.
The suspects were identified as Abdulatif Mohamed and Oscar Muema Nduku.
According to the police, a search of the premises led to the recovery of 493 rolls of suspected cannabis, two brown envelopes and a carrier bag containing the substance.
Detectives also seized two weighing scales, Rizla papers and other items believed to have been used in handling and packaging the drugs. Cash suspected to be proceeds of crime was also recovered.
The two suspects remain in custody as officers complete processing ahead of their expected arraignment in court. The recovered items have been secured as exhibits.
The investigation is ongoing, and the allegations against the suspects have not been determined by a court.
