Police recover bhang, illicit brew
Last month, police in Ruiru impounded bhang that was being processed in a homestead near a school and arrested four suspects.
The drug was among other items recovered, including illicit brews and 40 litres of ethanol that was being manufactured and packaged a short distance from Gatong’ora primary school and the newly opened Ruiru Vocational Training College.
Area sub-county police commander Alex Shikondi said his officers, acting on a tip-off from members of the public, raided the premises, but the main suspect fled from the dragnet.
