Police officers in Ahero, Kisumu County, have intercepted a motorcycle carrying narcotic drugs.
The officers were on patrol within Ahero Town when they spotted a suspicious motorcyle rider carrying huge sacks.
They flagged the rider but he defied orders and instead sped off towards Kamindubi area.
The police officers gave a chase and after a short while, the rider abandoned the motorcyle and its luggae, escaping on foot.
“The officers recovered four green sacks containing a substance suspected to be cannabis sativa. Both the motorcycle and the evidence were secured at Ahero Police Station,” a police report reads in part.
An investigation is currently ongoing to identify and apprehend the suspect for arraignment.
“The National Police Service remains committed to the fight against narcotic drugs and urges members of the public to support these operations by sharing timely information through the toll-free numbers 999, 911, 112, #FichuaKwaDCI 0800 722 203, or WhatsApp 0709 570 000,” the National Police Service (NPS) says.
