The driver was arrested following the discovery of the suspected illegal drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The officers recovered the bhang during the operation, although details about where the drugs were being transported or their intended destination were not immediately available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate operation in Bungoma County, police raided a rental house at Kamukuywa Market in Kimilili after receiving information from members of the public about suspected drug activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the raid, officers recovered bhang stored in two sacks and a basin. They also discovered rolling papers and a rolling stick, which are commonly used in preparing bhang for smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second suspect was arrested during the Bungoma operation, bringing the total number of people arrested in the two incidents to two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The separate operations led to the recovery of more than 25 kilograms of bhang, highlighting ongoing police efforts to fight drug trafficking in different parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further details about the suspects&#8217; identities and possible court appearances were not immediately available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Owen Chege Police have arrested two suspected drug traffickers and recovered more than 25&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=899"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":901,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899\/revisions\/901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
