Police have arrested two suspects and seized an undisclosed amount of cannabis (bhang) following a successful raid on a suspected drug den in Timau Town, Meru County. Acting on credible intelligence, officers targeted a house in the Soko Korona area believed to be a central hub for storing and processing illicit substances.
During the search, police recovered 100 rolls of cannabis alongside additional bhang in various stages of processing. Officers also recovered packaging materials, including rolling papers, five pairs of scissors, and a knife. The two suspects found inside the premises were immediately taken into custody and are currently awaiting arraignment, while the recovered items have been secured as evidence.
This operation is part of an ongoing, nationwide crackdown by the National Police Service to dismantle drug trafficking networks and mitigate the impact of narcotics within local communities. In an official statement, the NPS reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all Kenyans, while urging members of the public to continue reporting any suspicious activities to their nearest police station or via official toll-free hotlines.
