In a coordinated operation by detectives, traffic, and general duties officers from Voi Police Station resulted in the arrest of a suspect and the seizure of bhang valued at over Sh7 million.
The suspect, identified as Collins Otieno Angwech, 50, was operating a grey Voxy vehicle (KCK 054X) filled with illegal drugs.

Angwech is now in custody at Voi Police Station as authorities continue their investigation into the matter.
The confiscated narcotics, along with the vehicle, have been secured as evidence for the ongoing case.
