A multi-agency team at the Sabaki River Bridge in Malindi has intercepted a Lamu-bound bus and uncovered a stash of cannabis cleverly hidden in plain sight in the luggage compartment.
The bus, registration KDN 368W and operated by Tawakal Bus Service, was making its routine trip from Nairobi when officers flagged it down for inspection.
What seemed like ordinary luggage turned out to be two bulky bales of cannabis sativa cleverly concealed among bundles of second-hand clothes.
But as detectives homed in on the suspicious bags, one passenger, believed to be the owner of the narcotics made a daring escape, disappearing before officers could react.
The bus driver and conductor were arrested on the spot and taken into custody for questioning as the manhunt for the fleeing suspect intensified.
The seized narcotics are now being detained as exhibits in the ongoing investigations.
