Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives on Sunday morning nabbed 89 bales of cannabis sativa on Garissa Road in Thika when a Nairobi-bound lorry christened Rhino Cement was intercepted.
Two suspects of trafficking in narcotics; Hassan Adaalim, 25 and Shedrack Maangi, 35, were also arrested in the operation.
The sleuths were acting on an intelligence report, of a notorious criminal syndicate that guises as serious builders of the nation, while trading in the illegal drug from Wajir using branded vehicles.
